| Re: Daily Routine?
Hi Tiscione,
Sorry for the delay in responding. I like to keep my buzzing as step wise as possible. There are three main reasons for this.
One is that I want to multi-task my practicing as much as possible and this gives me a chance to work on my ears as well as my buzzing.
Second, and this is more important for me, is that I want to keep my lips pretty focussed. When I open up too much in big slurs I feel like I lose the focus I am trying to gain by buzzing.
The other thing that happens to me personally is that I tend to really bump the ends of wide buzzing slurs with my air. Kind of like jumping on a trampolin. When I go up and then come down there is a real bump at the bottom. When I stay stepwise I really try to feel myself keeping the air smooth and easy with no gaps. Kind of like a really heavy syrup.
That last part is maybe a bit confusing and I can try an clear it if anyone has any questions.
Best,
Andrew |
