[Trombone-l] Charles Colin Lip Flexibilities

[Wessner, John]

I used them for a number of years - but maybe incorrectly, as I never saw much purpose other than the discipline.  Steve Turre once said they turned his playing around - it sounded pretty good before to me.

I have a question concerning the Colin Lip Flexibilities for those of you
who use them.

As the phrases get longer, do you find it necessary to breathe in the middle
and keep on going? 

I know that Charles Colin was a trumpeter, and perhaps the airflow
requirements aren't as great on trumpet as they are on trombone. In my own
opinion, I think the idea is to play them as smoothly and musically as
possible, and if you have to breathe in the middle of a phrase, so be it.

I'm certainly open to ideas.
