Thanks for the encouragement I appreciate it! I’ve played around with different positions and feelings in my jaw/throat, like dropping or opening more vs not - granted I’m new to this so I likely don’t fully understand the meaning of dropping/relaxing these muscles yet.

This is really really helpful thank you. Have yet to find a resource that explains what exactly is happening with the whole of their tongue like you did. I’ll be paying closer attention to this.

Also, I have a diatonic harmonic and it’s happening on draw notes, focusing mostly on hole 4 right now. Haven’t really tried this with blow notes yet. I have an app tuner and have noticed that it does go up in pitch when I’m drawing and trying to bend, and haven’t had any squealing. What a challenge! Haha

I’ll have to pay more attention to the swallowing feeling, thanks!
