Larry, I think I see what you mean, but it may be asking a bit to much to expect that even the most competent horn player and teacher in a few words can explain this complex relation with air support and embochure.

If there are others out there who believe proper embouchure muscle functioning (and to some extent, embouchure position) is an insignificant aspect of playing well, please post and explain why you think so. I know proper air support and control is critically important. I'm not a pro nor a teacher, so I don't think I'm qualified to explain exactly what proper air support and control is; I think the "control" part is very important, and it would be helpful if someone would explain what good air support and control is. Obviously, every beginning player who blows a sound through a horn is applying air pressure, air flow, and some level of air control. Telling such a person to use "air support and control" doesn't help them very much. I know what good air control and support is for my playing, but I ask a more experienced player to step forward and explain it in a way so that a person who doesn't know what it is can understand it. Thanks.
