I posed this question about six months ago, but want to ask for advice =
once again. I experience problems playing in the orchestra when I cannot =
hear myself. In other words, my playing skill (embouchure, intonation, =
dynamics) is lost when I lose my "feedback" (i.e., my ears). Does anyone =
else experience this? I really flounder (easy on the fish jokes!!!) when =
the brass takes an ff, and I produce a squeak or lose pitch. I can't =
believe my playing is so dependent on my *hearing* myself play.
