Producing the Essential Tone

Embouchure is your mouth's position on the mouthpiece of the instrument. A good embouchure takes time and effort, so follow these steps for success... :)

1. Hold the closed end of the head joint in your left hand. Cover the open end with your palm of your right hand.
2. Rest the embouchure plate on your bottom lip. Center the embouchure hole on the center of your lips. Check by touching the embouchure hole with the tip of your tongue.
3. Gently roll the head joint forward so that approximately 1/4 of the embouchure hole is covered by the lower lip.
4. Keep upper and lower teeth spaced slightly apart.
5. Draw the corners of your mouth straight back and relax your lower lip.
6. Make a small opening on the center of your lips. Blow air partly into and partly across the embouchure hole
7. Last but not least, practice regularly in front of a mirror. (Because practice makes perfect!) Roll the head joint in or out to find out the best embouchure position that produces your best clear and full tone

Hope this would help!
