 Re: What Separates Average Tone from Exceptional?

I will definitely say that most conscientious effort you have to make is in the air support category. Send the air through the instrument faster, feel the column vibrating under your fingers. Without the air there is nothing there. Always push the air harder.

A proper embouchure and an appropriately shaped oral cavity are very, very important, and a good reed matched to a good mouthpiece help a lot, but you're nothing without the air.

Tone and musicality are also very intertwined. Don't get too caught up in a good sound at the music's expense, keep listening to as many other people play (even other kinds of music and other instruments) to really live deeper in the music.
