Loosening Your Embouchure While You Are Playing - FluteTips 165

Have you ever lost your low notes during a recital, or solo festival, or even in an ensemble? It is very common for flutists to be able to get a really rich low register in the practice room right before a performance only to lose those bottom notes on stage.

It is so frustrating to barely be able to get a good tone quality when you get to the low notes in your piece. If this has happened to you, you know exactly what I mean.

When you identify the cause of the problem, you can start working on solutions. We often lose our low register because by the time we get to the low notes our embouchure is as tight as a drum! Throw in a little performance anxiety and our air is not aimed in the right direction. Then our rich low register loses its tone quality, or worse, becomes puffs of air.

Is your embouchure stuck in that high position? Here’s some help!

Have fun!
