55 Embouchure Building Exercises for Upper Notes

These exercises are for building embouchure strength.

  • They are not about playing “fast notes.”
  • Play them slowly.
  • Focus your attention on your breath support, air speed, and intonation.
  • Use only the muscles that you need (core and embouchure).
  • Keep shoulders, neck, chest, arms, hands, and fingers relaxed.
  • Squeezing or pinching anything will not have a good result.
  • Repeat each pattern at least once.
