Re: airy notes

As a beginner, think you may be more sensitive to the "differences" in the quality of the "throat notes." After a while one should start to learn ways to temper these notes so you have more resonance. For example I'll play open G with the second and third fingers of the right hand down. For "A," I will add only the first finger of the right hand.

You didn't mention middle line Bb. That one should really send you spinning for its airiness!!! For that it is pretty standard to add the third fingers of each hand and the pinky "C" key (either left or right, depending on the passage).

As for the "F," there's nothing fingerwise to do, just add a little more intensity to your airspeed to bring it out.
