Synopsis

How To Improve Your Chops Without Playing A Note takes a physical therapy approach music performance, developing key musculature without your instrument. As applied to brass and wind instruments, this involves specialized development of the embouchure, the part of a wind player's lips and face that touch the instrument. Using techniques that have traditionally been applied to athletic performance, the author describes muscle building exercises designed specifically for the embouchure. This approach has several advantages, and has been shown to be tremendously beneficial to players at all levels. In particular, it allows players to maintain and improve muscle tone, even at times when they are unable to practice their instrument. Additionally, the approach allows for muscle development that cannot be achieved while playing, yet has the potential to dramatically improve performance.
