 Re: low C articulation (mp dynamic)

I hope I'm not repeating anything that has been said above...I was hoping to avoid reading through all 16 responses!

A few pointers (IMHO):

- #1 is breathe DEEP! Get a big, full breath of air in and this will always make things easier. It's amazing how much of difficulties in the low (and really, any) register can be solved by getting plenty of air and supporting like crazy

- Do peeping exercises. Before you try to tongue the note, try to 'peep' it, i.e. you do an air attack as softly as possible. Once you have figured out how to set up your embouchure to do that, tonguing at mp will feel easy!

- Put as little reed in your mouth as possible; play out on the tip of the reed

- I'm sure this has been mentioned, but scrape more wood out of the back

Good luck!

Graham
