Subject: embouchure

Just wanted to let people know about and interesting book I have come
across with regard to embouchure. It is Maurice M. Porter's 'The
Embouchure' (London: Boosey & Hawkes, 1967). Whilst the book is directed
at wind and brass instruments, there are a few chapters that could apply
quite transparently to the mouth organ. They cover a range of topics such
as breathing, resonace, stacatto and legato. The book tends to focus on
things like the musculature of the mouth and hazards of strain, etc. but
tries to extend that knowledge into discussions of playing. I'm still
reading it (the diagrams of mouths are slowing me down) so don't ask me for
an opinion. It could be of interest to some of you.
