[Trombone-l] airy sound.

[Tom Ervin]

Julie, you've got plenty of good advice already..

And this is hard to fix at a distance. So I could be wrong. Made a mistake last
month too... ;>}

It may also be that you are (simply) spilling too much air into the trombone,
through the embouchure.

Give it a day off. You may be "blown out," playing too much at this time.

I hate to ever use the word PINCH, but maybe get a better GRIP on the airstream
between your lips. Focus on the center of the embouchure.

TRY to make the most airy sound you can. Exaggerate it.

Then Fix it

Then go lousy again.

Then fix it again.

Hope it works.  Won't take long.
