Re: a teaching predicament

There's also a need to change embouchure in order to build stamina, for the ability to comfortably play longer. I had a serious problem with jaw pain, and could play well for short pieces, but the pain would be so great I would have to stop playing to rest the jaw. But by changing the embouchure not only did the pain disappear, but the overall tone is better. The learning process is painful on its own and discouraging because of the awful tone produced at the beginning, until the new muscles that are called upon to perform finally get strengthened.
