| Re: Hello! Hi Stuart,
It's a little hard for me to say without seeing you play, but I would suggest based on your description that you try an find a reputable teacher somewhere in your area. If you PM me where you are I can try an help you find someone.
As for flexibilities. It's not my place to comment on what you have been told by another trumpet player however I will tell you that being flexible is a very important part of my playing. I would strongly advise you to keep working at it.
Get in touch with me and let's see if we can find you someone to see about your embouchure question.
Good luck,
Andrew |
