P3 - B3

Embouchure

  • Maintain an appropriate and functional embouchure, suitable for the particular instrument:
    • gradually developing stamina and flexibility over an increasing range and duration
  • Recognise and correct faults with some independence

Remind learners about a correct and functional embouchure. Help them to develop stamina and flexibility over an increasing range and duration by focusing on:

  • playing longer notes
  • playing phrases, maintaining an even sound on each note and using wider intervals and a greater range of notes
  • playing exercises and pieces by ear, memory and notation, increasing the range
  • playing longer pieces with a greater range, maintaining the tone quality and listening to intonation
