Embouchure
The embouchure is the use of facial muscles and the shaping of the lips to the
mouthpiece of a
wind instrument. Less frequently, it is used to mean the mouthpiece itself. The word is of
French origin and is related to the root bouche (fr.), 'mouth'.The proper embouchure allows the instrumentalist to play the instrument at its full range with a full, clear tone and without strain or damage to one's muscles.
