@Dr-Mark said in Embouchure Dystonia My guess? I think you'll conquer this and you'll be playing better than before. Why? Because you know not to do what you did and that's moving towards better. For the most part, we all start out blowing too hard and using too much force and tension. Our job is to learn how to use the least amount of stress and strain t get the job done. Its kinda like meditation with an attitude.
I trust that GeorgeB will find these suggestions as helpful as I do, Dr Mark. As I return to trumpet again, overdoing, using too much pressure, and relaxation continue to challenge me. Your last sentence is kind of catchy!

I have been reading your thread as it develops, GeorgeB. This is a useful discussion, perhaps particularly so for those of us who are seniors. I applaud your intention to stay involved in your band while you cannot play your horn. Best wishes for a fast and complete recovery.

Hello, folks. Comeback from the old Trumpetmaster site here. I got a little discouraged with TrumpetMaster and sort of disappeared sometime prior to the site disappearing. Then a health issue compelled me to hang up my horn for a year. It is great to be playing my horn again and great, too, to see so many familiar names. Hopefully, I will be able to contribute meaningfully to some of the threads.
