Re: Embouchure strengthening

I agree with Clarimeister. This is the best way and you should do this at the very beginning of the warming up.

Additionally you can strengthen your embochure even without a clarinet with holding a pencil in your mouth while forming a proper embochure. Take about 10mm pencil to your mouth and try to hold it for 1 minute by using only your lips and not your teeth. Then rest 1 minute. Repeat it as many times as you can. Later you can increase the time of practising that and decrease resting time.

Another good thing is to play the long tones with double lip embochure. Recently I found a very good video on this theme by Tom Ridenour at youtube . You may find it useful. Good luck!
