Yes. Yes, it did. So I guess I should apologize for calling out brycon now.

I'm sorry, brycon. I let my frustration with the tone of this forum get the better of me.

And maybe "finer points" falls somewhere between the concrete and the philosophical, kdk. I want to look at the big picture in my playing and practice -- and occasionally I succeed! Sometimes, though, for *me*, I find that too much information presented all at once results in confusion.

I tried to be clear that it's not an either/or proposition, but I don't think I communicated well.

brycon makes many excellent points in his response to my [strikethough] snark [/strikethrough] post. Good teaching is way more than imparting specific information on mechanics (that raised tongue! that precise tongue-on-reed placement!). And being a student of an instrument is way more than just digesting those specifics; it's about adding skills toward the goal of being musical.

Just trying to think things through as I type.
