Hello there,
So I've been moving from playing with the bottom lip tucked in to the "no embouchure embouchure" as taught by George Garzone.
At any rate, although my sound is much bigger playing this way, I have noticed that I've had more trouble in the lower register.
For example, when practicing long tones, fading in on low F from pianissimo up towards fortissimo, I notice that my F is breaking up. Same goes for F#, G, and G#.
When starting those notes from a subtone, then it's not a problem, but I'm looking to be able to control the sound without shifting my jaw the way I find myself doing for the subtone.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could play the low F at pianissimo without with my bottom lip tucked in or in a subtone?
Thanks!
