- I took a flute lesson from Guido Fazio at House of Woodwinds last week, to get an alternative view on how this instrument is supposed to be played. The single most useful thing he told me about the flute embouchure (how you hold your mouth) is to visualize yourself sucking on a thin straw. That puts your mouth in the right formation, then you blow with the same mouth position. Since that lesson, I've also been experimenting with my sax embouchure, hoping one day to wean myself of my wax & gauze crutch that I've been using for a while to help play without feeling any pain. I managed to do a couple of rehearsals last week without using the crutch, but had performances Friday and Saturday night which I absolutely needed to be able to play comfortably. |
