Thank you for such an excellent illustration for forming the embouchure! I am largely self-taught, picking the horn up later in life, and nobody could explain this to me! Most helpful video I have seen about playing the French Horn!
Hi Amy! I'm so glad you like this. It is a modified version of what Gail Williams teaches, "Pooh". I think the lips end up in the same place and its less giggle inducing for young players. :-)
I have a question. My lower lip keeps sliding from within the mouthpiece to the lower edge of the mouthpiece. When this happens, should I let it stay there? Also, how do you prevend this from happening?
My lips are uneven and I feel like it is due to my mouthpiece placement. I have been playing for 4 years and I am a good horn player. I know you said it’s ok if the placement is a little to the left or right, but I feel like my placement is too much tot he left, causing my lips to be asymmetrical/shifted. Could this be because of my mouthpiece placement?

Tks! although it is a short video, this gave me a basic point of view as I am smashing my lips to get a better sound in my horn; greetings from BR!
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I don't know how I missed the "eew" concept, but that will certainly be my new way of introducing it!
