Since joining this forum I have been working on new techniques(for me),TB,vibrato,etc,for about 5 months

I was working on Vibrato while LB'ing but never attempted it while tb'ing,the tongue blocking was hard enough,and the Vibrato was extremely slow in coming.People said just try and work on it every day and it will eventually happen,which it is.

The other day I was tb'ing and it just popped in my that I had not practiced Vibrato and I tried it unconsciously while Tb'ing and was suprised to find that it sounded pretty good and was just as easy as Lb'ing and actually seemed less staccato,smoother or more Legato.

I remember seeing that it was recommended to open your throat more to get a bigger fatter note,and also to do vibrato but I have to consciously remember to that most of the time but I think that when I tb I naturally open my throat.I know that everyone's throat cavity / mouth /physicality is different but I think this the case with me,anyway.

Am I on the right track with this thought?

You're right on track with any thought that makes you sound better!
