I am working on the piccolo part from the Stars & Stripes for the first time, but am having trouble getting my trills to sound "piccolo-like".
Can anybody offer some helpful hints as to how I can make my trills sound better? Sometimes my trills end up sounding like one pitch, interrupted by valve movement, instead of an alternating between two pitches!
I guess I never spent enough time trilling on the tuba! :-(
