    I'm a 65 year old man learning how to sing during the pandemic. Now, with lip trilling I can really annoy my fellow passengers when I'm using public transit! Seriously, I love your instructions and I am learning so much from you. I appreciate your teachings and am looking forward to more. Thank you.

    THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH! I've had the hardest time figuring out how to do this, and I've been trying to improve, and spent a few hours looking for a video that would explain HOW to get my lips to do that...
    I was a band geek for most my life, but I'm out of school now and can't afford to rent an Oboe (I was super lucky and was always able to use school's... Reeds were still ridiculously expensive anyways, but I was lucky) so I've been trying to learn singing, it's great, and in a lot of ways my knowledge from band gives me a good understanding of the general music concepts and such, it's very interesting how much is similar, but also how much it's an entirely new "instrument", but even in a much more foreign way than trying to understand another wind instrument, because to form words, there's way more different articulations to learn (plus it took awhile to even know what I didn't know, haha, like where in a note the vowel and consonant sounds go, etc... I'm friends with singers and most of them just didn't know that wasn't just... Something everyone knew... And I didn't even know what all I was doing wrong - it's funny how the more you learn, the more you learn, the more you know you need to learn! It's great, though, I really love learning!)
    Anyways, I'm so thankful for this video! It makes sense that people wouldn't understand how it could be so hard for me to just... Do it, lol... And I knew I was doing too much tension in my cheeks, I was laughing at myself because I knew somewhere in my mind I was trying to buzz my lips like embouchure for French horn(/brass- I didn't really play brass but I liked trying basics on my brother's horn... I do not have the air for brass, haha!) or at least just like... When my lips would be exhuasted after oboe for too many hours in a row, my mouth would still be able to hold the embouchure to play oboe, but my lips would kinda do this spitting thing as I leeked air around the reed, which is not correct... So between something in my head thinking it was "wrong" (lots of things are wrong in one context and not in another) and just... Laughing at myself because I KNOW the lips aren't making the note, but I was looking in the mirror and trying so hard to figure out how to relax my lips, but still have enough... Idk what it is still actually, but there's something that makes the lips buzz... Maybe it's how close together they are?
    I'm silly but I'm gonna watch this at least several more times haha... I know it seems super simple, and in some ways it is, but I guess everyone has different strengths and challenges, and this is challenging for me, but it's also SO MUCH POTENTIAL to help me become a way better singer, especially because I have asthma and realize in retrospect that, after doing all sorts of great "breathing exercises" back in high school band, I would end up having more issues with breathing once we started playing... I now realize oboe actually doesn't take that much air, so I ended up with a bad habit of not taking a FULL breathe and filling my diaphragm before starting to play on oboe (not really sure if that was correct or not... I've learned a bunch of stuff from singing that I SO wish I could try out on oboe, too, because I know I've gained skills that would make me better at oboe.... My embouchure is likely weak, but still... It'd be cool)... But with singing, if I don't take a full breathe, I run out of air way too quickly (duh haha... Muscle memory is hard to combat though haha...but I'm getting there!), and overall I definately need to improve my air support and this is such a perfect way to challenge that and improve, and now I at least know how to do it enough that I can work at it!
    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! :-D :-D :-D
