What really is faster air? Isn’t blowing hard the same thing? The answer to that is a resounding maybe!

It depends on how you are using the faster air. High note success is built on the correct air stream and embouchure all wrapped up together.

The key to all high notes is the trilogy of embouchure, support, and air speed. The embouchure must stay open, loose and free of tension. Then, support kicks in. When support is added, the embouchure is free to stay open and the air speed can quicken and stay steady.

The problem is that this trilogy seldom works together, and the result is faster air becomes blowing harder, which then necessitates the embouchure to tighten to control that air.

It is a sticky wicket!

In this video I will teach you how to use faster air to gain the high register with control and without blowing harder or tightening your embouchure.

Join me and watch as I explain how create the tone you want using faster air.
