How can I get my lips to recover from trumpet?
Solo and Ensemble is in 2 days and my lips are so blown out from over practicing. In my quintet, I have the melody most of the time and I don’t want to ruin it because my lips were fried. How can I make sure I don’t sound like this on saturday??
play lower notes on your instrument helps relaxes the lips after a long practice session, also don’t try to over practice, the more you over practice the worse the fatigue in the lips become
