I’m always returning to this exercise and I’m never sure if it’s doing anything to my chops

To clarify I’m talking about developing your ability to play with your teeth completely closed, NOT playing super quietly, which is the common misconception as to what Cat Anderson practiced and taught as the whisper g

In my experience it’s something that I think all trumpet players should be able to do, but I’m not sure what the use is after you get acclimated to it.

I like to do lip slurs and Clarke studies in this way, but like I said I’m never sure if it’s actually giving me any benefits

Curious as to what your experiences are with this weird exercise
