His sound is best when he's relaxed (isn't everyone's). Though I haven't heard him this semester yet, he was doing long tones...during his lessons...in the spring. I plan on revisiting his embouchure this week. Think I'm going to bring a straw.
But when he gets nervous, notably in technical passages, his sound thins out. His technique is beyond his age, 17, but needs to be a more rounded player. He's playing for six years. Currently on a mediocre R13. It's almost like he doesn't have enough muscle memory to maintain his sound when he starts to focusing on technique.
So I was thinking perhaps equipment could be working against him instead of for him.
