A great way to play better and easier is to play in the center of each note, a single core! Playing above or below the center keeps you from using all the overtones possible for your sound, you don't resonate the entire overtone series and loose quality. It's fight the pipe time when you play out of center, so much easier on the chops to go from the center of one note right to the center of the next. Listening loud to what's coming from the bell, really knowing what this sounds like is key...and it's so much easier to play with power, not force.
You can hear an awful lot if you just listen...!
