Thanks Richard. That article is really useful in explaining how lip muscle and position/pressure can influence tone colour and dynamics. I guess subconsciously I was trying to do some of those things but I now understand how they can be controlled physically. I will have an play around today and do some long tones and try to apply some of those principles. If I can isolate some of the sounds that I feel will be useful to me, then hopefully I can develop a muscle/position memory for them.

Bruno thanks for that! I have over the last few weeks changed my tongue position for my upper clarion/lower altissimo so it is similar to the position I normally use from throat G upwards. I was previously raising my tongue very slightly when I got to clarion G. It sounds mellower now that I have decided to keep my tongue lower. I only raise my tongue now when I get to altissimo G and then again for altissimo C. I can see how consciously varying my tongue position will be useful though for those times when I want more variation/tone colours.
