Re: Wind Ensemble Audition

Small ensemble work: duos, trios, quartets. You can't hear yourself comparatively in band or solo. It's amazing how people's playing responds to small ensemble.

May be time to start some reed experimentation, it's important to get this right for good tone. This is not an excuse to blame the equipment, just an observation based on personal experience: the 'right' reed can make it easier to find good tone, and you can try and listen for the differences between different designs. I can play on the 'wrong' reed, but it's harder work, right?

Tone is also an embouchure thing (isn't everything? ;D).
