\ “* THE PIVOT STABILIZER
1, Commence your practice by studying the BASIC PRACTICE CONSIDERATIONS,
BEFORE YOUR "BLOWING CHORES'' COMMENCE,..
2. Throughout the PIVOT STABILIZER use all HOOO on tongue attacks with NOSE
INHALATIONS. It is vita] that you do this, do not take it lightly
3, Keep: more pressure (weight) on the lower lip_and lower jaw, without receding the
position of the jaw while so doing. This, too, is of vital importance..,
4. Before mouthpiece placement make certain that the three point lubrication has
been carried out: (1) Soturating the teeth snd Bums wih saya (2) saturating the corners
of the mouth with saliva; and (3), saturating the entire outer embouchure with saliva. ..
5, The "CORE OF THE SOUND'! MUST DICTATE THE AMOUNT OF PIVOT TO EMPLOY
6 Do not use the PIVOT for lesser degrees than a perfect fourth...
7. At the outset, the longer the ascending interval, the thinner the lower note must be.
8. It may be necessary to exaggerate your PIVOT movement at first; however, when you
leave this page - FORGET IT:
9. Mirror observation the first time, then inhale with the eyes closed and repeat and try
to capture the feel involved, This, tog is a must!
