Follow the sound. Don't over blow. Go for the pop. Get the tongue anchored against the lower lip. Stay in the happy zone. Never play to failure. If you start to fold, stop spit buzz and reset. Relax tehe corners. Those have become my "mantras." Did I miss any? ;-) I also LOVE the fact that I use only one mouthpiece on my gigs now. OK, on my C trumpet gigs I use the 1SS, but I could use the 1SB.
