Subj: RE: [kl] glissando help

Start by trying to play tunes only with the mouthpiece and barrel. The note
that comes out using a normal embouchure is the top note. From this note you
can only descend. To play tunes like this you have to do as Tony describes
it with your tongue. Just play around, you'll soon get it.

About your piece 'Conversations', it depends where you have top go after
gliding to that top F. I've been using the fingering for throat Bb + the two
top side keys for gliss up to alt. F. If you can continue conveniently from
there you could use that fingering.
