I'd be curious to hear what some of the others you list had to say specifically about tone production exercises.<br /><br />Thanks again for the great blog!Gregory Dudzienskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09759296185754426979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7197152665905718639.post-68123876690636555002011-03-14T09:41:52.348-07:002011-03-14T09:41:52.348-07:00Thanks.

I've also got some good tone exercises from Walt Weiskopf, George Garzone, Chris Potter, and Rich Perry, and I've been inventing some myself which seem to be helpful.<br /><br />For some reason I haven't found working on the mouthpiece quite as helpful as just working on the horn. I know lots of people love it including Allard/Lieb. I just feel like if I can't hear the true tone quality I'm just spinning my wheels. I'll probably try it again soon.Ben Brittonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168800131826822235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7197152665905718639.post-45059120759729430172011-03-13T12:44:15.591-07:002011-03-13T12:44:15.591-07:00Great checklist!

I have a similar routine that involves work on the mouthpiece, overtones/matching etc...<br /><br />Thanks for the great post!Gregory Dudzienskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09759296185754426979noreply@blogger.com
