That's a pro's advice?

I've worked with Dr. H. D. Smith for years, and he's never given me anything as generic and wrong as that.

Ah. I play euphonium, but I couldn't offer any helpful advice. I have problems, I suppose, that I guess I'd like to discuss with a pro, but it's probably not something that could be easily fixed over a forum. It'd be great if my parents would pay for private lessons, but nope. They already pay too much for my other band needs already. Also, GenericWit, what school are you from? I'm in Texas, too. South Grand Prairie, actually. But not nearly good enough to make state.

Well, I can't be considered a pro, but I do have 8 years baritone experience, and 15 years on trumpet. I guess, since I have never heard you play I can only offer minimal advice. On baritone, more so than other instruments, airflow is huge. I would do breathing exercises, such as using a section of pvc to hold your mouth open while you breath. Holding it in your teeth will force you to take in more air in your initial breath. Second, take in a good breath, and hold it. A few seconds later, take another breath, without exhaling. Most amateur players will not take full lungs of air on their first breath. Third, practice controlling outflow by stretching a breath of air on exhale for 30 seconds or more. The more you practice this the better your lungs will get. Lastly...practice, practice, practice your fingering charts and scales, they are essential.
