Hi RobinDesHautbois

ideally one should avoid puffing out ones cheeks, as it implies a lack of muscular control and may lead to other complications. This is best done while practising long notes and concentrating on ones embouchure, all while observing oneself in a mirror.

Regarding Stefan Schilli, I'm sure he would be the first to admit his solutions may not suit the majority. But as one of the world's truly great players, it's hard to argue with his results. I was in the same oboe class with him 1989-91, studying under Thomas Indermuhle. My goodness, he was pretty incredible, even back then. I cannot strongly recommend enough acquiring his CD of Albinoni Oboe concertos with the Stuttgart Kammerorchester.
These recordings are some of the best Albinoni performances one can buy, in my honest opinion. His new recording of the Strauss/Martinu, etc. oboe concertos is also quite excellent. The Albinoni cd would be money well spent!!!

Best wishes

James
