Explaining Superchops Series E02 - The Three Faces

In part two of this mini series I begin by explaining the three faces that depict movement of facial muscles from page 5 of the Superchops book.
Episode 3 will be published next Monday at 6pm GMT.

An excellent comparison of embouchure types

This video series is really great! I’ve been totally baffled and confused by the whole system for probably 30 years. I am finally 100% determined to figure this out. Also, thank you for clarifying the difference between the Claude Gordon anchor tongue and TCE.

I’m really glad that you find it helpful. Cheers 🙂

You make a great point about the 'EEE' vowel stretching the lips. The best description on how to practice vowel sounds I have seen is from German trumpeter Malte Burba. A teacher not often mentioned in US based forums.

I’ve only heard of Malte Burba through a friend from Belgium. Unfortunately I’ve not managed to find much information that I can understand about his approach.

@@BrassPractice I ordered his book and DVD years ago direct. Definitely worth checking out. Basically vowel sounds are practised with a mirror and mouth wide open to prevent the stretching of the lips on EE. Lot's of other good iso tips too. All the best.

Great Job I'm going to listen to it again. Because I had a phone call interrupted me.

I think you’ll enjoy the next one too!
