Dear Lloyd et al,
You wrote: As such , it resembles the lip trill exercise in intent. In my
opinion it avoids the excessive breath flow that is required by the lip trill
exercise.

I realize now the peril of trying to describe studio practices over the
internet especially when it comes to the exercises we use. The context is
missing and that's the biggest part. I'm not afraid of criticism. I know I'm
going to be second guessed and criticized every time I make a suggestion but
that's not going to stop me. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
The way I teach lip trills does not produce excessive breath flow and does
not cause tension. In fact, it helps my students who have excessive jaw and
lip tension as well as too much sub-glottic pressure. I don't see them as
counterproductive at all. I have tried your exercises and will test them out
on my students soon. They seem perfectly good to me.
Regards,
Les
