Embouchure

Embouchure refers to how a musician positions and uses their mouth and facial muscles to play a wind instrument, such as a flute, trumpet, or clarinet. It involves shaping the lips, positioning the tongue, and controlling breath to produce a clear, steady sound. A proper embouchure ensures efficient airflow and pitch control, and it can vary slightly depending on the instrument and style of playing. Developing a good embouchure is essential for achieving the desired tone quality, volume, and agility in performance.
