 Re: Developing your embouchure

Some say (I among them) that the air column in the clarinet should be thought to extend all the way back through the throat into the trachea, and indeed into the lungs themselves, at the bottom of which is the diaphragm. That air column, manipulated, reshaped, and huge in size, has an enormous influence on our "sound", our vibrato (or lack thereof), and articulation.

The orbicularis oris, a complex of muscles surrounding the lips, includes fascicles that extend into the lips as well as encircling them and extending into the chin and across the cheeks to a lesser degree. They are very important in the formation of our embouchure.

There is no way to imagine that a clarinet player can develop a beautiful sound, the necessary endurance, and all the variables in musical articulation without developing this set of muscles.
