I am trying to compile some data and decided to start here. I`m going to ask it as simple as possible without comfusing anyone.
What do you think is the most important part to an embouchure?
Here are a few ideas of a possible answers, there isnt really a right or wrong one but you are pretty limited.
aperture
lips: Include curl and piece placement
tounge: where the tip is touching
Jaw pivot: moving jaw from natural position; affects tounge & vowel
Tounge Level: effect of vowel sound
Teeth: straight or not; what effects may occur
Facial expressions: what goofy faces work
Puffage: Puffing of cheeks
Head placement: Moving head from natural position (E.T.) moving head up or down; basically the angle of the mouthpiece made from a line drawn from the aperture forward.

This is a major mechanical question. All of the ideas listed I have seen effect sound and range in a different way. What are your thoughts. If you didnt think something I listed could effect sound or range, post your thoughts why not and ill post my idea why. Good day.
