Air Support

I feel like the past few weeks all I have concentrated on is aspects of my embouchure. I believe I thought that the perfect embouchure would fix all of my issues with sound, but when I still had squeaks especially in the upper partials of the dominant 7 chords, I realized I wasn't really supporting the air I was putting through the instrument. I've noticed a difference now that I am also thinking about how I'm supporting the air and how that relates to the embouchure.

With the Sutermeister, I have been thinking about finger position and making sure my fingers are in the right position to play the next note. This has come along some, but I'm still working on continuing that with musical phrases.
