 Re: What Separates Average Tone from Exceptional?

To reply to Bob,

Currently I'm 15 (getting ready to turn 16 in January), and at the moment I average about 5 hours or more a day (Including rehearsals, without them about 3-4 hours).

When I pull out the horn I start with long tones going from clarion E-B-chalmeau E-B-Low E in wholes at 72. Then I add on a note at the top of the repetition (IE: C-F-E-B-E-B-E to F#-E-B-E-B-E). Each time I do this I focus on one aspect of playing, while retaining the other (Air Support, tongue position, embouchure control, relaxed fingers). From there I move onto scales, using multiple different methods, and finally end with some articulation warm ups (Focusing on minimal tongue movement and contact, as well as keeping air pushed the whole time).

One could say "You're only 15, don't worry too much", but I refuse to accept age as a limit to how good one can play.
