Let’s talk about tension! Tension is one of those areas that we all need to work on. Tension in the embouchure can prevent you from getting the sound you would really like to have. The problem is we don’t work on this though. It is oft times ignored in our practice sessions.

I want to encourage you to figure out what is happening in your areas of tension especially as they pertain to the embouchure. Special places of tension are in the tongue, jaw and throat. These tension filled areas prevent you from having the sound you want to have. Tension locks the sound in the mouth instead of letting the sound come out through a relaxed embouchure.

When you begin to work on relaxing the throat, jaw and tongue then your sound begins to loosen up and can then begin to soar.

Have fun learning how to get rid of tension in your flute playing.
