Hi @johndoe!
Can you elaborate on what you mean by “can’t hit the notes…”?

Sometimes airflow can contribute to “chipping” a note as well as mouth position. But if no sound is coming out at all that could be something else.

We might be able to provide some more helpful input if we have a better understanding of the trouble.

Cheers!

Hey @johndoe welcome to the forum my friend. How’s it coming along?

These are the tips for a getting good -2:

1.) Let gravity lower your jaw so that it’s totally relaxed and in a nice “aw” vowel shape, your teeth should be far apart from each other

2.) Keep the back of your tongue down, like it is when you yawn. Make sure it’s not in the “Kk” zone (how your tongue is when you say a “Kk” consonant.)

3.) Nice steady, GENTLE, airflow. Most beginners (and many intermediate and advanced players) use WAY to much pressure.

Hope that helps! :sunglasses:

Aloha,

Luke
