Tone Improvement

[LoVeTheBlues]

Any ways to improve your tone other than practicing? I knew a guy that while traveling, he would hold a mouthpiece in his mouth as long as possible to strengthen his jaw.

There are some posts on this topic somewhere around here, try searching for "embochure exercises" and stuff like that.

I know Trane did an exercise that consisted of forming your mouth like you're pronouncing the syllables "too" and then "eee", and swithching back and forth. Hold each one for 2-3 seconds. Makes the corners of my mouth sore pretty quickly!
