You're right. If I look at the note on the music or mentally visualize the note on the music if playing from memory, it helps a lot. However it does not work for the notes that are out of tune on my horn. I have to mentally correct those. However, by mentally singing it in my mind while

If one can sing, one can play! My head of department in College has been involved in research that shows that the vocal cords of a Brass player whilst playing do EXACTLY the same thing as a singer whilst singing. Fascinating! Does anyone else sing it mentally and not listen to the horn

Pitch sense certainly is crucial to horn playing, but the 'feel' (or 'taste' as I call it) for the production of pitches can serve perfectly well by itself for accurate playing. I rely on it, since I don't have 'stage 3' perfect pitch. I only 'hear' the pitch mentally in an almost abstract or
