Need some more help..
this is sort of building upon my previous post..
i need better tone.. im happy with my setup i know that i can get a good sound out of the setup i have. no product is going to make me a player, i am..
but i need exercises for tone development..
right now im working on overtones like a bi*ch.. im only doing the octave right now..
doing whole notes at 60 on Dr. Beat..
Bb----Middle Bb ... B----------Middle B C#---------Middle C#
and so on and so forth up untill D and maybe E, im working on getting control of that so i can do it 90% of the time and someone can tell me play octave B with low b fingering and i can do it right away..
after i get that ima start workin on the 5th degree and stuff..
but i know there are more exercises for hte development of tone..
im mainly want to work on high C up to the altissimo range.. and below low G getting those notes thicker, fuller, with more meaning..
my altissimo is terrible, thin, tinny, shrilly..
my low notes are ill supported, muddy and often jump an octave out of nowhere and its not a mechanical problem on my horn..
some may be support, playing with a constant flow of air, emboucher or w/e..
but i know there is more to it to getting an "open" more sonorous thick sound..
also are there any exercises for pitch? and developing your ear? and developing your pitch on your horn?
