Thank you for this video Bob! I loved the practical example with the improvisation, I had this problem too (though at a beginner-level).

Bob , do you pronounce a syllable when you take air ??

[@RidgewoodSchoolofMusic]

Nope, I try to breathe without any extra sound.

[@Jekaaaaaaaa]

@@RidgewoodSchoolofMusic and can you advise how to take air and how to feel the support of exhalation ?

[@nextoo1]

Trumpet is not a wind instrument. It's a brass not wind. However sax is a wind instrument.

[@potatotomato9302]

It's a wind instrument. It uses air. A saxophone is part of the "wood"wind family. There are wind ensembles that have brass.
