Re: Portnoy on Embouchure

When I attempted special effects on my 14 key Wernitzgrun Albert I thought it was too resistant to alteration
With a new embouchure I look forward to trying it again.Even switching between Boehms can fall anywhere between difficult to impossible. When I have difficulty with special effects I review online tutorials on reed tuning . I then scrape and sand until I either achieve the results I want or destroy the reeds..Finely tuned reeds are essential to special effects from my experience with my old embouchure.
Portnoy asserts that even professional players often don' t know consciously how they do what they do. In monitoring myself lately I feel my jaw going back and forth while my upper lip is sort of sucked into different contours.When I try to monitor it I ask myself what is this and where does it come from.
Einstien once wrotè that genius lays in the ability to tune into the divine or universal consciousness. Darth Vader would say turn to the Force.
