 Question about embouchure (flutes)
Author: Musical Mind

Recently, I think I have improved my flexibility of embouchure, but I still can't get the clearest sound I want to let out. Here's the problem. Although everyone's anatomy is different, can you tell me how to make your corners of your mouth with eveness of strength on both left and right side when playing the flute? I can't really sense it when I am playing. If you have any suggestions, I would be very grateful. :)

Well to tell you the truth I have not had this problem or anyone ask this problem, so I really can't help you much. Though my professor has told me to make sure that the headjoint is alight proporly to the rest of the flute as if you were a beginner. Then expirement and rotate the head joint in and out ever so slightly at a time and find what angle gets you the most clear, resonant sound possible. I will look more into this for you. My advice now is to just experiment and see what sounds the best.

Thank you, Steven. Even that little experiment would help me a lot. :)
