I thought I would never see anyone recommend long tones again!!!!!!!
It has been part of my daily routine as long as I have been playing the horn.
I learned a wonderful exercise from a trombone player many many years ago.
I start on horn middle C and work down and up chromatically until I have reached the bottom and top of the register. It takes about 20 min, but what a wonderful workout

BTW, buzzing does not work as any preparation for the embouchure. It might help for a relax, but one buzz would be enough to release the tension.
How about Long Tones ? The nearly forgotten best preparation for sound & sound stability. Also to build up endurance. ============================================================ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 10, 2004 9:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Hornlist] Lopsided embouchre?
Hello again,
I noticed also when I free buzz it seems that when I'm
descending, my left corner (left half of embouchre) gets bigger first, while my right
half still seems more compressed....(smaller). Is this like a huge problem that will eliminate me in the horn
game if not fixed?
