@robertwerntz Thanks for your advice & I'm sorry to hear that. I wish you well

@Shifty Yeah, I see what you guys are saying. With that in mind, I'll watch the video Thanks!!

@administrator Thanks! But two questions though.

1st one....After the MMM, do you firm your corners, bring them slightly in toward center firm against you teeth, & then have your lips firm against your teeth & are your lips just slightly touching? And when I say this, I don't mean rigid or in a stiff manner. In other words, if you measured "firm" for doing that on a 1 to 10 scale, it would be at a 3 the most.

2nd question is... after you've placed the mpc, do you put your tongue through your lips to open your lips slightly, or do you let your air stream open them.

Understand I'm not trying to be technical or mechanical. I just want to know if by doing this, it results in an embouchure that's not loose & sloppy. THANKS!!

@Shifty First one does make more sense

@Shifty Hello & thanks for the post. But how do you do that>

Hello All!
WHEN YOU PLAY…..
Do you form an embouchure by firming your corners, flexing your lips against your teeth in a relaxed fashion & in turn, create a concise steady air stream through a small aperture into the trumpet, & then just rely on the trumpet itself to provide feed back (oscillation, standing wave, etc) to make the lips vibrate to create sound?
OR
Do you form an embouchure by firming your corners, flexing your lips against your teeth in a relaxed fashion & then purposely create a buzz with the lips, & in turn buzz through a small aperture into the trumpet itself, & not just rely only on the trumpet to provide feed back (oscillation, standing wave, etc) to the lips to make a sound?
