RE: Projection and Tone

The late great flutist Marcel Moyse said once to his pupil Trevor Wye 'Just listen what I play in this room outside'.
He got out and heard Moyse playing in p a tune,it sounded clearly.Wye,already a famous proffessional flutist,was moved and just walk away to adjacent forest.That is the meaning of projection.So,I do not know how,since I am a humble clarinetist/flutist/saxophonist.

But I can guess acoustically.Projection means sound does not easily diminish. This means dense harmonics.In other words,we should emit centered tone.It is decided by how we shape our inside our mouth(I do not know the appropriate terminology).

Maybe,you should experiment sometime what Moyse did with Wye.Let someone hear outside and check how you sounded.
