I've been playing the trumpet for about 8 years now, and my sound has been waning for the last few months now. I've been getting self concious while playing about what I should do with my air support (not as in nervous, as in I'm thinking actively about my air support). Just doing the basics from this I've had some of the best practice I've had in months. Thank you. The specific difference this made was that it made me realize that once I was getting concious about it, I was engaging a lower part of my core than I should have btw.
Air "pressure" varies as required for dynamics. Air pressure also diminishes with efficiency of tone producrion. Air pressure or "Support" is NOT related to tone quality but only dynamics. A skilled player can play a beautiful tone at a very soft dynamic using very little "Support", that is, low air pressure. And efficient players use less air pressure in general. "Support " is yet another word that trumpet players toss about but have limited understanding of.
