Re: Endurance

Great point Matt, I don't know how I would have learned theory nearly as completely if I just played the horn. I find it very important to play other interments and to sing. My singing and horn playing have informed each other quite a lot. Whistling too. I was whistling a tune I was trying to get on the horn and it really helped me feel the breath pattern that I had been stumbling on.
One thing I have notice that helps with endurance and constancy is having a clear sound in my head what I am trying to get, not so much about how to do it. The next thing you know I have just done it, and if it was not effortless at least it was doable.
