I have been doing these exercises for the past week and a half and I'm already noticing a difference in my ability to keep my embouchure more stable and make less drastic movements. I play Wave every month with a big band on bass bone and this past Tuesday was the best I've ever played it - I was able to find the center of each note much more easily than in the past and more often.

I know from my lessons with Doug Elliott that I'm supposed to minimize movements as much as possible. These exercises have shown me how much I'm still moving when changing notes, even when I think I'm not. And I still have some work to do to get to where I want to be.
