But words do help us reason and explore. Descriptions help us to figure out what to try next, based on the results we ve gotten previously. For that reason, I m glad that I went ahead and finished the second edition of the PTP book. But I should mention that I m not only referring my own books. This concept applies to all trumpet literature.
Exercises produce results.
Those results may be entirely different from the results described, verbally, in the book. So only you can determine if your results are positive or negative. I happen to know that the reason I do lip buzz is different from the reasons that other people do lip buzz. That s ridiculous.
