Shaping the lips

Structured Embouchure

  • firm vs tense
  • lips should direct the air: air stream goes straight/forward (not up or down)
  • whistling embouchure
  • pronounce sound Ü
Enough Shaping Too much shaping
enough shaping too much shaping

Other ideas

  • both lips visible. Do not let the lower lip scoot under the upper-lip (might need to roll out the lips slightly)
