Gentlemen:
In addition to the reference to plumbers (perhaps) being able to build
trombones, did you know that the "trombone tube cleaner thingie" is actually
called a 'snake'.

Take that and clean out your pipes!!

Subject: [donax-m] Tounging

I have a student, that after almost a year of studying, really sounds
like a clomper when she tries to tounge on the reed. I only found out
about this when I tried to test how she breathes to make sure she
breathes correctly. does anyone have any suggestions on how to restart
her to tounge correctly?

Thanks,
