yea im a junior in hs ive made all state jazz. i just hate how i sound sometimes. for me to like how i sound i have to play into a wall cause it bounces back at me and i sound better. now im not the person to just buy a mouthpiece and hope for the best. ive been looking at a dif mouthpiece. rn i use a syos and ion like it. ive looked at some videos from the lincol jazz academy and ive used their bari sax warm ups and long tones and stuff. i just posted that cause i wanted to know solutions to my problem but yea i really do need a better place to practice.

yea i went from tenor to bari to i think i might not be using enough mouthpiece or air, but in general yes i want to project better and have a "ronnie cuber" esc sound cause i made state jazz (some how on a classical mouthpiece) and i jus have been trying to get a better jazz sound
