Yes but … try this one for tone. I sooo wish I could find the music for this cheeky number.

My teacher always has me blow long tones loud to soft and soft to loud. Then he asks me to play as soft as I can and hold it. This enabled me to play the soft sub tones. Loose bottom lip for airy sound and more lip to play a solid tone. The hard part at first was to provide the constant air flow on the soft tones. It still feels like I am going to run out of air when I play them.

Thanks Mel. Sounds good. I’m working on it right now

I believe some players actually are moving their bottom lip down and up getting that vibrating sound. I found that this automatically happens to me when my mouth gets tired. 🙂
