Ladies and Gents,
What trombone-y blogs/columns you all read? I keep up with Jay's
Reflections and some of Matt Guilford's blog. Any others you recommend?
Second, I'm looking for information/exercises about blowing. Not
breathing, exactly, but blowing/exhalation & efficiency. I know lots of
good breathing exercises and I do some daily (keep moving, 4in 4out
gradually longer, expand by holding/sipping, use intercostals not the
glottis, many other jewels).
Blowing exercises seem somewhat elusive. I know some concepts from Jan
Kagarice, and bits from reading about hatha yoga. Good reading and/or
practice suggestions wanted.
Despite what some are thinking, I am disinterested in nsfw comments on
blowing ... :p
