Relax Your Embouchure to Improve Your Tone - FluteTips 154

Sound. We all want a better sound: richer, darker, smoother, brighter. Sometimes that tone is just out of reach, and you can’t figure out why. It isn’t always that you need a new head joint that gives the darker sound, or the gold riser that adds a new color dimension to your sound. These things are nice additions, but you can get a great sound with the instrument you own.

It all begins with a relaxed embouchure. When it is relaxed then tone can begin to come out and sing. With an embouchure that is tight the sound gets held inside and doesn’t resound with purity. Let’s look at how to relax that embouchure for a better tone.

When you can believe that a relaxed embouchure works to get you a great tone, you will get a great tone. Work on this and you will be very happy with the results.

Have fun!
