Hello all,
Hope everyone is safe and well at the minute.
I am hoping someone can help me with a couple of issues I am having at the minute as I am obviously unable to see my teacher for a while.
I switched from Alto to Tenor a few weeks ago and thus far am really enjoying playing tenor. However, there are a couple of things that I can't seem to figure out:
Main issue is when I am hitting a G or G sharp in the upper register I have to tighten my embouchure to make a clean sound, it's only happening on this note and with all the rest I can slur up and down across the break with a nice and relaxed embouchure, it's a problem as I am having to make a drastic change to hit it cleanly and it just seems not quite right! I have a similar issue with a D played with the octave key although not quite as pronounced.
So my question is what is causing this issue and what can I do to fix it
Many thanks,
Matthew
