The Embouchure Project

By: Frankie Lo Surdo
  • Summary

  • Welcome to The Embouchure Project Podcast, where we bring together the finest minds in the world to help understand the complex system that is the embouchure.


    The Embouchure Project represents a network of neurologists, scientists, physical therapists, psychologists and pedagogues. The goal is to help define what a healthy embouchure is, what we can do to optimize the embouchure, and to deal with problems as they arise. A lot of our time will be devoted to embouchure dysfunction from minor annoyances to debilitating forms of dystonia, we hope that all players, teachers and medical professionals will find this to be a rich resource.


    Join the host, Australian horn player Frankie Lo Surdo as he and his guests dive into the intricate world of the embouchure.
