Congrats on 1,000 subscribers! Love your channel and videos. Any tips on getting myself a good pedal C (2 octaves below middle C)? I find that some of my horn students have a pedal C on their first try but I have been trying for years haha.

Thanks Dan! I would suggest slurring chromatically down from a pedal F, and hold the lowest note you can get as long as you can. Keep doing that every day, and soon the next note down will start to come out. Hope this helps!
