Luke, Unless you buy the product you do not know what this technique is. Valerie refused to answer a direct question of what it is intimating you had to buy the product to find out. And you know that it helps little kids play the full range but that is about it. However, What you do not know is that if you follow the instructions to the letter you could damage your embouchure that could take weeks if not months to overcome.
As a brass player the last thing you want to do in playing your instrument is bunch up your chin. Check with Cindy Lewis of the NJ Symphony she is the foremost expert on brass player injuries. You will find that it could be the quickest way to end your career. I play daily from pedal c to f above high c and there is not a hint of a bunched chin. It can be done without bunching up your chin and puffing your cheeks looking somewhat like an idiot. If you want to throw your money away be my guest, heck I did, but you can get better results from Scott Hartman's left coast exercises which are similar and they are free to download and the instructions will not potentially harm you like Valerie's product will. I am sorry I offended some on this list but there are plenty of vendors on this list who do not abuse their presence are not obnoxious. I for one welcome a reminder that someone is around every couple of months or so.

This is great information. Ralph, Do you prefer we start another discussion on which valve oil is the best? Three week discussion? I must have missed it. Information about this performing technique IS NOT SPAM!
