Re: An epiphany: blowing tone
Yes, well...it's a bit more complex than that. Dunning-Kruger can have a big impact. I've been a musician all my life, know when things are in tune and out (and really hate it when they are out)....

Re: An epiphany/blowing tone
I had one, too, most recently.
I was spending a lot of time focusing on things like blowing steady, bag pressure - the mechanics of blowing tone. That's not a bad thing, and honestly, the best...
