[Trombone-l] Free-buzzing opinions

[Denton Thomas]

Josh,

I once heard that David Vining had some incredible lip slurs by free 
buzz.  It would probably be worth contacting him about this, as he's had 
quite a few unique experiences.

For myself, the free buzzing has definitely helped in the same way you 
mention - efficiency, air supply & breathing endurance/length.  For 
accuracy, though, I haven't found it as beneficial as I had hoped.  Free 
buzzing, I don't believe I am able to keep tight focus on the 
in-the-mouthpiece section of my face.  I end up moving my face more than 
I like to see when I play the horn.

Definitely good stuff for air stream.  I look forward to reading your 
other posts.

Denton
