Neuro, How I view "air support" is simply the concept of maintaining the air flow required to play the horn. :D Simple? Yes? I have been told its like compressing the air, and a "firm midsection" my greatest success has been in following a few steps. 1. Allow the inhalation to be natural and unobstructed. 2. Have a smooth change at the apex of the breath (with no interruption from the throat) 3. Maintain an constant stream of air that isn't being hacked apart from our midsection. Let the tounge articulate not the throat and gut
It seems to work for me, I used to play with "poor support" where every note was supported, but nothing supported the space between the notes. As always, My two cents.
