Gillian says:<< where I have to gliss from F (top line) to top f, I can't
seem to do this successfully. Any advice would be much appreciated.>>

Gillian, this may not be true in your case, but, when I work with students
whose embouchures are "biting" based, they have a very difficult time doing any
kind of glissando. Those who have a "lip-muscle" supported embouchure seem to
have more flexibility to bend pitch easily.
