| Embouchure Change
After one more big jazz festival on Friday and Saturday I won't have any gigs for a while. I've never had the range, flexibility, or endurance that I want to have, and I know this is largely in part because of a faulty embouchure. I am too dependent on my bottom lip, which has little or no curl in when I play. I realize that I use too much pressure on my bottom lip. In saying this, I want to change my embouchure (could be complete overhaul or whatever necessary). Does anybody have any suggestions of proper lip placement for better range and endurace, tips on how to make an embochure change (how to experiment to find something that works), or anything else that would help me out. I do have a teacher that I know will guide me the right way but I also want to hear from people on here about their experiences and suggestions. Any help would be appreciated. |
