Hello again,

I have worked with barrel and mouthpiece again and with Tony's suggestion
and can bend notes lower by thinking of tongue position but I still can't
seem to transfer this to a gliss ascending over a whole octave or more.
Have tried to create a 'leaky' tube with my fingers but not sure exactly
what fingers to lift when. Im not aware of biting either and think i am
blowing strongly enough. I know its difficult to describe all this on email
without seeing what I am doing. Hopefully my teacher will help me next week
but I would love to master it before then !

Gillian
