I've been struck with doubt after reading some posts by embouchure specialist Clint 'Pops' McLaughlin. He advocates not using pedals and that they may do more harm than good. I haven't formed an opinion yet but am going to look at some more approaches. It is confusing when there are so many approaches and each promises the world as far as trumpet technique goes.
This week i had a really good day where i was able to play without any tension in the throat. Everything felt easy and it was a joy playing. I want to be able to replicate that feeling all the time.
I seem to be stuck at E above high C. Try as i might i just can't seem to play that F at this stage.
This week includes Clarke exercises and the book hasn't arrive yet so it may take me longer before i move on.
See you soon,
Rob Lane.
