TPTV - Buzzing Benefits

During the past many months, mouthpiece playing has been the focus of countless discussions, many of them on social media. In this TPTV episode, mouthpiece playing is examined through the words of Mr. Jacobs, and the descriptions of several of his students: Charles Daellenbach, Gail Williams, Lew Soloff, Judith Saxton, Keith Johnson, Greg Irvine, Sondra Bell, and Shawn Campbell. The use of imagination while playing, stylistic development, imitation, and embouchure efficiency are all examined.
