Embouchure. Formed Right,: The A Uthor
Embouchure. Formed Right,: The A Uthor
The purpose of this book is to teach the student a method of playing, which will
enable him to bring out the full resources of the cornet or trumpet. To this end,
the instruction begins with the important fundamentals of breathing and breath
control and then takes up in natural order, such matters as Tone Production,Tonguing,
Articulation, etc., etc., advancing step by step, until the student becomes well grounded
in all the various requirements of cornet and trumpet playing.
In taking up the lessons which follow, the pupil must realize that the most import
ant thing in cornet and trumpet playing is the embouchure. This must be formed right,
and in order to keep out of temptation, the student whose embouchure is not properly
established should avoid all low tones and learn to produce the tones in the middle
and upper registers first. In other words, those who w ish to set the embouchure
properly must get the high tones first and the low tones last.
For this reason, I begin the practice exercises with C, third sp ace, and then
gradually ascend the Scale until the student becomes able to play G above the
staff. After this range (C to G above) has been acquired is soon enough to take up
the tones below. The handicap of weak lips, caused by first forming themwrongfy-
while playing low tones, must not be suffered or tolerated. Of course, the pupil
should know that he must not press. In other words, do not press the mouthpiece
unnecessarily hard against the lips, but let the contact between mouthpiece and
lips be as light and natural as possible.
No attempt has been made to make the exercises entertaining,especially the
beginning exercises. They were prepared for the purpose of developing proficiency
on the cornet, and this, like any other accomplishment, requires persistent and repeated
efforts along sane and practical lines. The student can find plenty of music to
entertain after he has become a good player.
The lessons on Extreme High Tones, Lip Trills, Pedal Tones, etc., will at first seem
impractical and in fact impossible, but the fact is that all of these exercises are possible
and can be played by many cometists who have learned correct habits of playing.
Doubtless, there w ill be some who w ill never master all of the studies in this book,
but they should, nevertheless, profit greatly by attempting these difficult studies at the
proper time and many w ill learn to play them well, and with ease.
Do not skip certain lessons or exercises because they seem easy- Neither should
you avoid other lessons or exercises because they look too hard. Take them up in
the order in which they are arranged in the book. Follow the instructions closely,
practice the exercises so ftly and in unison with the metronome, do them over and
over repeatedly, and if you work with persistence and determination, you willbe
able to develop an embouchure and method of playing along correct lines. Afterwards
cornet and trumpet playing will be with pleasure as well as with proficiency.

Q- What are the four principal characters used in writing or printing music?
A. The staff, clefs, notes and rests.
Q. What is the staff, and of what is it composed?
A. It is the combination of lines and spaces upon which notes and rests are placed, and it is com
posed of five parallel lines and the six spaces between, above and below them.
Q. What are clefs and how many are in general use?
A . Characters which determine the position of notes. Two are in general use,- the treb le or G
clef
0 and the bass or F clef —V*
Q. What instruments use the treble clef?
-A. Violin, flute, oboe, saxophone, clarinet, cornet, alto, mandolin, guitar, banjo, and sometimes bar
itone and trombone.
Q. What instruments use the bass clef?
A . Basses, baritone, trombone, bassoon, etc.
Q. What are notes and how many are in general use?
.A. Characters representing musical sounds of various lengths of which there are seven commonly
used,as follows: the whole note o , the half note J, quarter note J , eighth note J'*, sixteenth note
Q. The staff with its lines and spaces, represents only a limited number of sounds. Are not more
necessary, and if so, how are they represented?
A . The range of musical sounds is so great in comparison to the limited compass of the staff that
additions are frequently necessary, both above and below it. These positions are termed leg er lin e s
and a d d ed spaces. By their use, it is possible to represent any musical sound, however high or low in
pitch it may be.

Q. What are accidentals?
A. Sharps, flats or naturals occuring in a piece of music, other than those found in the signature.
Q. What is a signature?
A. There are two kinds of signatures — the K ey S ig n a tu re which is the sharps or flats placed at the
beginning of a piece of music to denote the key in which it is written and the Tim e S ig n a tu r e which
immediately follows the other to indicate the movement and which appears in the form of a fraction,
„„ 2 2 4 n r ft 6 9 12 x

There are many important requisites of cornet playing,but briefly considered, three fundamental essentials may
be mentioned, without which no one can hope to attain success as a cornet or trumpet player. These are, (A)
proper breathing, (B) correct embouchure, and (C) clean and decisive attack.
A. BREATHING. The fact that the cornet is awind instrument would lead one to suppose that the player would
naturally, of his own volition,devote much time and thought to his style and method of breathing. The fact is, how
ever, that as a rule, no thought whatever is given to this feature of playing, and as a rule, the cornetist plays along
year after year without ever thinking of the relation of breathing to cornet playing, and never imagines that his
work could be made easier and his playing better by learning to breathe deeply, so that playing, like talking, may
become natural and easy. An ideal example for the ambitious cornetist, so far as breathing is concerned,was set
by the world-famous cornet virtuoso, Herbert L. Clarke, who in order to obtain a complete mastery of his instru
ment, practiced breathing exercises d a ily for over thirty years.
Deep breathing may be acquired by giving care (1) to the method of inhaling or taking-in of the breath, and
(2) to the method of exhaling or letting- out of the breath. Long, slow breaths,both inhaling and exhaling,canbe
practiced at spare moments with much benefit and if conscious attention is given during the daily practice hour
to the development of lung capacity and perfect breath control,the student will be surprised at the improvement
which this acquirement alone will make in his playing.
B. EMBOUCHURE. More cornetists fail of success for lack of a proper embouchure than from any other
reason. Thin lip players, whose lips vibrate readily, often get a proper start naturally, right from the beginning.
Nine players out of ten, however, begin by opening and stretching the lips across the teeth—a very bad habit
which at once checks advancement and later on results in lip troubles of all kinds.
To build up a correct embouchure, two things are necessary, (1) a knowledge of lip vibrations, and (2) the
knack of producing vibrations on the mouthpiece.
1. Lip vibrations. A correct embouchure can only be build up gradually, the first step being to learn what
I call lip vibration s. When I first originated the term ulip vibrations” some twenty years ago, no one seemed
to understand what I meant, but as a result of my personal teaching and my correspondence courses,the term is
now well understood and is being used by practically all of the best soloists and teachers throughout the country.
Lip vibrations are produced by forcing the breath between the gently sealed lips, and after more or less pa
tience and practice the student learns to produce a buzzing sound with the lips,resembling the noise made by
a big fly on the window pane, or the buzz made by playing on a comb with a piece of paper. The purpose
of lip vibrations is first, to insure a correct lip formation, and second, to prepare the lips for a proper placing
of the mouthpiece.*
* In this book the word Cornet im plies both Cornet and Trumpet. The instructions also apply to Alto Horn, French Horn,
Trombone and Baritone.
XVI
In iny method of teaching, the lips are never stretched across the teeth, and the mouth is never distended at the
corners. The old time idea of stretching the lips across the teeth results in what is termed the “strong arm” or
“pressure method” of playing, and although the pressure method is still used by untutored players,they are never found
in the front rank and are becoming fewer and fewer as my no-pressure method finds its way among musicians.
In a word, the pressure method and habit of stretching the lips across the teeth, is to be universally and uncondi
tionally condemned, as it subjects the lips to a continous, never-ending strain and makes it impossible to pro
duce the high tones, except with straining and effort. It is necessary, therefore, to caution the student against
any stretching of the lips as he places them in formation for producing the lip vibrations. In fact, the lips
should not be stretched at all. In other words, the student should fo rm his lips and not stretch them.
Once the knack of producing the buzz on the lips has been learned, the student should practice holding the
vibrations in one continous buzz for a quarter to a half minute, and later should learn to regulate the pitch of the
vibrations by playing simple tunes just by means of these vibrations alone.
2. The next step is to project these vibrations into the mouthpiece. This is easily accomplished by
placing the mouthpiece on the lips while the lip buzz is being sustained. This w ill require some persis-
tance and experimenting, but when the student has learned to produce the vibrations on the mouthpiece, he
will hear a clear and well defined buzz, which can be controlled to an extent of running scales and playing
difficult tunes—just with the mouthpiece alone.
It should be understood that all of the work up to this point must be done without using the cornet at all —
just the breath, lips, and mouthpiece. After the student has gained control of the vibrations and can run
the buzz-scale on the mouthpiece, he should then pick up his cornet and, while the mouthpiece vibration is
being sustained, slip the cornet on to the small end of the mouthpiece, and observe how readily the cornet re
sponds in the production of the cornet tone. If each of the three described steps has been carefully worked
out and practiced and the student becomes able to produce the cornet tone as above described, he is pre
pared to take up the third lesson in this book, with which the practice should begin.
C. ATTACK. Now that the student understands how to breathe, and the various steps preliminary to the
formation of a correct embouchure, I shall explain the third point—attack. To secure a precise and
instantaneous attack, two points must be understood, (1) Tonguing, and (2) Articulation.
1. The Tongue. Because of the wide spread extent to which an error has been carried in the instruction
books and among teachers, let me say that the tongue should never pass between the lips. Instead of tong
uing from between the lips, the correct method is to tongue either from the teeth or from the gums of the up
per teeth. This method keeps the tongue away from the lips, prevents disturbing the embouchure once it
has been properly formed, and results in broad musical tones.
2. Articulation. The best articulation for ordinary playing is made by using the syllable “too”. This
is made aspirately and not audibly with throat sound. The effect of this particular articulation is, first,
to direct the tongue naturally to a proper point of attack on the teeth or gums, and, second, to fill the cornet
for the production of a full round tone so much admired but so seldom heard, except from famous virtuosi.
I have now described the three requisites of playing—breathing, embouchure, and attack. There are other
important points that might be mentioned—such as holding the cornet,blowing the wind, the use of expres -
sion, the style of phrasing, etc. Many of these matters are explained, or at least touched upon, in the fo l
lowing pages of this book, whereas others of these matters must be left to the good judgment of the teacher
under whose guidance the student may be personally working.

Inhaling and Exhaling
Inhale deeply through the corners of the mouth and exhale through the lips, as in w histling, using
an aspirate “hoo” for each note. U se as a daily drill without the instrument, one line a day.

LESSON III
Tone Production
The Whole Note. Four ticks of the Metronome to each note.
The exercises in this lesson are to be played without using the tongue. Attack each note with an aspi
rate ‘ hoo” and let the breath-force and diaphragm do the work that is usually placed upon the tongue.
Do not pass over this page, nor any of the following pages, until you can play the page well, with ease and in
strict unison with the tick of the metronome. The enthusiastic student will play each exercise twenty times.
Never breathe through the nose in playing: always through the corners of the mouth. And be careful not
to puff out the cheeks.

Note. Haste is a student’s worst obstacle when it comes to playing the cornet or trumpet. An embouchure and style of
playing can only be built up by correct methods coupled with such constant repetition of the exercise as will insure a gradual
development of breath control, lips, tongue and tone. Two excellent proverbs for the student to keep in mind, are “Haste makes
waste1’ and “Slow but sure:’
Just blow the tone without use of tongue, and use one breath only to each of the first five lines. Play in
unison with the tick of the metronome.

Duet
In all duets, the pupil should play the upper part and the teacher the lower part. Each duet should first be
played with the metronome, and afterwards without the metronome.
Breathe only at the sign “V” remembering always to inhale deeply.

Note. Before taking- up lesson IV, review the exercises in lesson III, producing the tones identically as before, but instead of leav.
in gth e attack ju st to the breath-force and diaphragm, also employ the tongue to assist in making the attack. Use the tongue
in a gentle manner by striking against the teeth or gums - not from between the lip s. Play every exercise twenty times.
8 LESSON IV
How to Tongue
The Quarter Note. The quarter note (J) is the standard unit of time value, one tick of the Metro
nome to each note. ’
Attack each note gently, using the breath-force and diaphragm as well as the tongue. Do not play
loudly and endeavor to accomplish each exercise in one breath.
Repeat each exercise tw en ty tim e s before advancing to the next.

Deep breathing, while playing, should become habitual. The quantity of breath inhaled, should be
determined by the number of measures to be played. This means that the pupil must learn to look ahead.

Legato Articulation
For songs and legato passages, articulate “too” with long sound of “oo”, as in the word “toot” attacking
with th« tip of the tongue against the upper teeth or gums.
Breathe deeply and carry over as many measures as possible with each breath. Play each execise
s o ftly and repeat tw en ty tim es.

The Half Rest (.«.). The half rest receives the same time value as the half note (d).
It is important that each exercise, each measure and each note , be played in perfect time and exactly as writ
ten. Constant use of the metronome will insure playing in tim e.

Attack
Strive to acquire a direct and precipitous style of attacking the notes. This requires some knowledge of
pitch and a precise and accurate tongue movement. The student should realize that the fingers, valves, tongue
and metronome, must all four act in unison.
Students who persist in playing loud, will never acquire a good style of attack, as this requirement of play
ing can only be developed by practicing softly. Use the articulation too.

A clean, precise attack, is one of the principal requirements of a good cornet or trumpet player. Do notplay
loudly.
The Eighthnote. Two eighthnotes (p p or PP) are equivalent, in time value, to a quarter note(J), no more
and no less.

The style of attack must be the same on the sixteenth notes, as on the quarter notes.
A common fault is to slight the sixteenth notes, playing them weaker than the dotted quarter, Hold
fast to the articulation “too” and there will be less danger of slighting the sixteenth notes.
