Maybe you are stuck wondering what to buy someone for Christmas, or are even wondering what you would like for yourself (so that appropriate hints can be so innocently dropped) :roll:
If I could make a suggestion......
I have spent time over the weekend reading "Embuchure Enhancement" Roddy Lewis (alias Roddy o-iii<O, Emb - Enh) and carrying out some of his "tests".
The books have been a been a "revelation" to myself, and can only describe the effect of them as EXCITING!
Roddy goes to lengths to explain that the books "do not promote an embouchure change" and are "designed not to interfere with what a teacher might be trying to inculcate into the student"
For myself, I say that the books educate the reader as to exactly what is really going on re Lip Vibs, Airflow etc........and somehow the reader discovers for him/herself the optimum playing method.
PS I have never met or spoken to Roddy, or received any lessons from him (but that will soon change).
To experience a taste of how Roddy can help - just check some of his posts here on tMP
