Re: Rhapsody in Blue

I have just heard two students who've taken lessons from another instructor who get really good results with the sliding fingers technique. I can't say that I've found that reliable myself. But I use mostly an embouchure/voicing approach. The only way I can describe it is: it feels like you are playing a lower note than you are fingering, or, your fingers lift "ahead" of the note. It does look like the "slidey finger" finger students use a little of that as well. You kinda do a "YAWWW" sort of maneuver with the lips and tongue.

Maybe someone has a better description.
