Another good exercise to make sure that your notes are centered and that you are getting a good buzz is to pick a note (say, the open C in the staff) and play it with good tone. Then slowly (very slowly!) take the mouthpiece out of the horn while maintaining the buzz. Try to keep a thick, centered buzz as you come out. Keep it going (breathe as necessary) and try putting it back in the horn. You can even try removing the mouthpiece from your lips, but this is quite difficult. It really helps you sound though!

Good luck!
