You might be confused to read that a tight embouchure is not a problem, because you know, or at least you have heard that a tight embouchure is a problem. It is true that you do not ever want to play flute with a tight embouchure.

NOT EVER

It will give you a tight sound and it hurts your tone.

What I mean then is that if you have a tight embouchure, it is no problem for you to fix it. You can learn to play without a tight embouchure, which will noticeably improve your tone.

In this blog and video, we discuss how your embouchure probably got tight when you started playing the flute and got dizzy. Then we’ll explore some ideas to fix a tight embouchure.
