Your embouchure is the way you apply your mouth to
a wind instrument.
- Slide a piece of paper inbetween the reed, and the mouthpiece until the paper cannot slide any firther. Don’t force it to go down.
- Draw a line where the paper goes down to. This is where you’re going to be placing your bottom lip.
- Say “Whee”, and hold that position. When you have that position, keep it while trying to also say “too”.
- Cover your bottom teeth with a small amount of your lower lip.
- Place your mouth on the mouthpiece with the reed, and place your bottom lip at the line where you have drawn on your reed.
- Place your teeth directly on the top of the mouthpiece. Put support around the mouthpiece equally. Your chin should be flat and pointed. Check in a mirror to make sure your embouchure is formed properly.
- Play long tones daily, to form a superb embouchure, and develop a strong beautiful tone.
- DO NOT puff your cheeks out.
