One of my teachers talked about a "spinning sound." She said to pretend you have a ping-pong ball in your mouth and to keep it rolling/spinning. A newspaper review of one of her performances mentioned her having "a sound that starts spinning even before the note is heard." Sort of far-fetched, but my impression is that it is a particularly "alive" tonal quality. Nancy C.
