My low notes sound lush and full. My high notes? Shrill and thin. It's enough to make anyone cringe, even me... I'm attempting to improve by changing my aperture and using more air but it isn't really helping much. Do you have any tips on playing high notes with good quality and avoiding the shrilln...

I've been taking your suggestions these months and trying to "read" music books without actually playing them and I believe I am improving. I still have difficulty counting and staying in rhythm but I will continue to practice.

Thanks for all the great suggestions!

I have been playing for 5 years and although I don't have any trouble with playing and memorizing music, I can hardly sight read. The weird thing is: if I already know what it sounds like, I can probably do the rhythm and right notes, but without that, I can't. Any suggestions on how to improve? :(
