For a long time I had trouble with my right hand. My wrist was slightly twisted,which caused problems with the foot keys.After correcting the angle,tension vanished and it became easier and much smoother in playing. Your video shows the same solution,excellent presentation 💖🤙🎼

great to hear that it's better - it's often just a small tweak that's needed!🤩

I used to get this. But now it's tongue cramp / fatigue and / or lip fatigue. Usually from trying to play in the higher register. Any advice please? 🙏

[@gwenkelso-fundamentallyflu9386]

It's hard to tell without seeing you play but I suspect you are squeezing your lips to speed up the air for the higher notes. You can help this by working on support ex, slurred octaves. I wonder if you also have tension in your jaw which is likely to cause problems with your tongue. Make sure that you build the strength bit by bit for the top octave. Good luck! 🙏🤞👍
