It could be replaced with, "No!!":-)

OK, let me rephrase that. You can play perfectly well at any dynamic without using support, the model being what you do when you play fff. To do it at a lower dynamic, you just blow less.

>> I have carefully used the term "technique of support" to avoid any confusion that I am suggesting a constant in terms of support. You have disliked the term maximum support in the past yet have no objections about 0 support so I would take it....that support can vary from none to a lot...>>

That's absolutely so...

Yes.

>> If exactly not means NO...then it follows that you separate blowing and supporting. We consciously or subconsciously add varying amounts of support for different situations.>>

Precisely.

>> So we go back to the scenario (which you didn't disagree with initially, other than it being too short and simple perhaps). Here is the new scenario....1. Student plays 2. Tony Pay says "more support and keep the same dynamic level" 3. Tony Pay says "less support and keep the same dynamic level". 4. Tony gives the student the 3note exercise.>>

That might work; though it's more striking, and much more useful in practice, for the student to keep the same 'blow' (which they can feel) and change the dynamic (which they can hear). The amount of support stays outside their awareness.

The point of all this is to show the student that they can achieve very many dynamic modulations (both sudden sforzandi and slower changes) very simply, just by IMAGINING THEM, and ALLOWING their diaphragm to learn how. And, perhaps even more importantly, they don't lose 'the long line' -- which is one of the most powerful qualities of good wind playing -- because that's represented by the constant 'blow'.
