I can get a student to use good steady air in 5 minutes. Then the work starts. Yes, air is a big deal, but, for what I want to do (play a double high Bb at ppp)I'm spending my time working the lips. Read the post by Ellis Wean some time back. Wind and song is a very big deal to me, but even Jacobs says you have to be a specialist in vibration. I'm just posting this cause I know if YOU can figure this into your playing, you might do some level hopping. If you do not have total control in all registers at any volume maybe it's time to try some new ideas. Work the exercises Bill gave for 2 weeks and report back.
