[TPIN] Air and Stomach Conception

[jontrimble at suddenlink.net]

I lock my stomach.  Not in a death grip but definately tightened.  I believe 
the concept of anything with the stomach is pretty much for compression on 
the lungues.  I used redirected pressure (kind of a yoga zen thing) in a 
sense of putting tension in places that have nothing to do with the trumpet 
for the sake of the trumpet.  In short,
chest up, shoulders relaxed, corners firm, pelvis tilted, stomach locked 
(kinda a middle crunch) then day dream about creaming sax players heads.

Confusing enough?....:)
