For anyone holding off posting a video because you think it isn’t polished enough I can honestly say you might be doing yourself a disservice. Thanks JB for pointing out my high range tuning issue and forcing me to look more closely at what I am doing. I went back tonight and just looked at my embouchure, tuning and specifically the lip pressure I have been applying and realised I was over-biting. It took me a while but I reconfigured my bottom lip pressure and it has made a huge difference to my tuning and tone in the second octave. I also am now more relaxed and blowing more freely and not aching as much on the top teeth and producing a noticeably better tone. It’s amazing how revisiting this vital feature of your playing can reveal some hidden problems. Do yourself a favour and get some uploads going of anything, it doesn’t really matter. You might just discover something about your playing that you might otherwise be, to your detriment, always oblivious to and it could hold you back. If you are like me and doing this without regular one on one instruction its even more vital. Cheers all
