Milton really has a lot of experience with embouchure issues. We had an appointment set for Friday evening to further discuss things he had learned about his chops through the years, but hubby and I got stuck at the peer for over an hour waiting for trains, so I didn't get my time with Milton. Hopefully in Denton, Milton and I can take up where we left off in SF. Anyway... one of the things Milton shared that really resonated with me as the promoter of BE, is the importance of keeping balance. He told how he had at one time used a very rolled in setting on both horn & trumpet that gave him a fabulous high range, but eventually morphed into this overly rolled in monster that limited his flexibility. (Please correct me if I've got it wrong, Milton.) This reinforced the BE idea of daily practicing both extremes (roll-out & roll-in) to keep things balanced, possibly preventing either extreme (roll-out or roll-in) from taking over.

I was doing a lot of mouthpiece buzzing... which I have always done and still do... but had let the tip of my tongue?move up from the very?the bottom of my mouth to right behind my teeth.? I had done?this so gradually that I did not notice the change.? But it had a major change on my horn sound.? Try this:? buzz on your mouthpiece and gradually move your tongue up behind your teeth and then back down into your mouth.? You should notice a radical change in the sound of the buzz.? ?
