This is an odd question!.!.!.
I am a professional musician, and have played clarinet for 18 years, and bari sax for 15!. Over the years I have tried other instruments (flute, oboe, bass, guitar, piano!.!.!. the list goes on), and have been quite successful! I can play most instruments proficiently (at at least a college level), but have never really tried brass- until about 6 months ago!.
I have a trumpet, and have been playing long tones, scales, etc!. I sit and play along with Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong (by ear), and have been catching on fairly quickly!.
Here's my problem: I have trouble playing anything below a middle line "G"!. I can get to a low "C" if I change my embochure, but I think that's bad technique, right!? And I certainly can't play anything below that, let alone fluidly! My high range is great (I think) for a beginner- I can play up to a high Eb (3 ledger lines above the staff) and can keep it in tune!.
Any tips on improving my lower range!?
