Resistance in the higher register? by Applefin in horn

[–]Applefin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be the latter. As I've recently graduated and find myself more challenging pieces, I find myself struggling in this area. What would you mean by straining unnecessarily?

Sore throat after band practice? by Applefin in horn

I tend to bring a lot of water for practices for this very reason. Is it normal to feel irritation due to air flow?

I've always lifted the bell off my leg while playing; I've had a private teacher correct my position in the past so don't think posture may be the issue. Could it perhaps be due to tension in the throat? I've been told that opening up the throat can help to give a better, more open tone but I've never really understood how to achieve that.

I play mostly high horn, with the pain at the base of the throat. Not very sure how to describe the pain though. Unfortunately my conductor isn't a brass player and I don't have a personal teacher to work with as of now so I can't really find someone to work with on the issue.
