Thank you! Very helpful. Just starting piccolo and really struggling with low d last night, so your comments about it made me realize that’s normal and I can’t expect it to be loud like on flute. I’ll try your suggestions!

Hi Julia... another really helpful video. Could you address the placement of the head joint, and your opinion on alignment with the body of the piccolo. Also I would be curious about how much of the embouchure hole you suggest be covered. I have heard differing opinions on these issues. I do a good bit of experimentation in my playing with placement, etc... Some days I feel like I really struggle to get a clear sound, and other days it's spot on. Thanks!
