I like your idea of practicing air attacks to slowly build to being able to use my tongue correctly. I used to use air attacks when I had an entrance on a high passage at a low volume, I'd just hear the note in my head and it would ooze out of my tuba and blend with horns or bones or whatever was playing with me. I will work on this some in a normal range/volume and see how well I can integrate my tongue.

I've never had a problem with air support although I may be timid with the new attacks, some mental preparation should take care of that though. I think mainly it is embarrasing for me to be heard while trying to fix this problem.
