Subj: [kl] Embouchure help
Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2004 17:43:55 -0500

Good afternoon, folks.

I have recently started teaching a young (12-year old) lady to play our
favorite instrument. It's been a couple of decades since I worked with
beginning players, and I'm having trouble getting her to form an
acceptable embouchure and to blow naturally. Part of the issue is that
she has trouble hearing the difference between when she gets it right
and when it's not right, but the rest of it, I think, something I'm
missing on how to teach it.

Anybody got any sure-fire embouchure techniques?
