 |
|
Dear all,
as some of you might have noticed, I posted a few months ago with a strange sensation in my face. That hasn't gone away, but I have had a severe throat problem, tight tongue root and a high larynx. I've seen an Ear Nose and Throat doctor who has confirmed that there's no visible damage. I just have lots of muscular tension in my shoulder, neck, throat (swelling as I play), as well as strange muscle twinges in the face, particularly the left side of my jawline directly below the corner of my eye.
I'm looking for a teacher with a good physiological knowledge of brass playing who can help me rebuild my technique in a less strenuous manner. Preferably someone in the UK, but Skype could work. I've seen Jeanne Pocius' name around for this sort of thing, was thinking of giving her a call, but any recommendations welcome!
Cheers,
Fred |

Hi Fred
There's a PM for you. For others, this sort of thing a muscular issue and physiotherapy might be part of the solution. But a GOOD one, but your average Joe. I am thinking of one who works at the elite sports level of with professional dancers, singers, etc...
cheers
Andy
