Yes I always have this problem when trying to play softly, exactly those same notes. My embouchure (good lord I have no idea how to spell that!) is quite funky in that range. Attacks are awful! At piano I am more successful w/attacks above the staff than in this middle register! If I play loud, I have no problem. If I play on the B-flat side, it's not nearly as bad, as far as lip trembling, but tone and pitch are more troublesome. I have had a little success changing practice routines to spend more quality time in this trouble area, and exercises from Wendell Rider's book seem to help me - more concentrated on middle register drills. Of course that means less quality time to spend on other important things. Stupid 24 hour day! I hope they fix that soon! Molly in Missouri

Has anyone had this problem? I have no idea why this has started all of sudden and I don't know what to do about it. Thanks.
