I was wondering who else has had problems with a quavering tone and how you fixed it. Sometimes my tone is great and I have no quaver but other times longer notes quaver when I play.

I would love to hear and opinions or advice on the subject.

Thank You and Happy Holidays!

I would suggest lots of lip slur excercises to build up the muscles in your embouchure.

the first two suggestions are great, and I'll add one other thing: Play those long tones pp to FF, with plenty of air and energy on the FF.
