A couple of years ago i gave up playing the trumpet as i was practising hours each day and getting nowhere. I`ve been told by a trumpet teacher that i don`t have the best shape mouth.the higher i play the further in my bottom lip goes in until it disappears at around high G (and i rarely hit that). And yes i always try to play with as little as possible pressure on the mouthpiece. Lately I`ve been dabbling with my friends sax but it`s just not the same. I want to play trumpet but how do i find out whether my lips are suited to it and if it`s a problem i can work around?
ps. are there any Chicago(THE BAND!) riffs out there?
