When the video started I really thought that he was nervous😅😅

I am searching the internet for all the low horn information that I can find. The issue I seem to be having is related to moving my face, especially where I shouldn't be. The tongue stopping thing, I think, will be helpful to me !

Mellohomie 123 me too I’ve always sucked at low horn and I’ve been told many ways to help with it but nothing is working

[@waffle1012]

@@alyssa2663 if people tell you to keep your face in the same place as your normal notes you will never be able to successfully play beefy pedal tones. You have to use a weird embouchure that is diffferent. I put my lower lip on the bottom of the mouthpiece and the top lip is around the middle of the mouthpiece and I can get some good beefy pedals

[@dahVEEDBBone]

check out Valerie Wells' Balanced Embouchure to hit the top AND the bottom.

The tongue stopping idea should work for any note. Good advice.
