Specifics of the embouchure formation process among students-players the brass instruments

Manuilov Vladimir Nikolaevich

The relevance of the study is due to the need to master the most important skill of embouchure for players the brass instruments and at the same time the contradiction of scientific and methodological views on the organization of this process. The purpose of the work is systematization and analysis the results of research carried out with using modern scientific methods and technical means, as well as monographs and articles on the formation of embouchure. The methods of research were: interpretation and comparative analysis of the results of theoretical and practical studies, a generalization of pedagogical practice. Results of the study: embouchure means a certain position of the musician's lips, tongue and facial muscles when playing mouthpiece, predominantly brass wind instruments, on which the quality of the extracted sounds depends; their timbre and speech, as well as the possibility of applying a variety of characters and techniques of the playing, therefore, the latest scientific research the process of embouchure formation using modern equipment allows to identify the specifics of muscle work and optimally and efficiently organize the training of students-players the brass instruments. Conclusions: the intensity of the activity of the playing apparatus muscles during performance in different registers and with different dynamics depends on the level of skill, however, exact measurements allow to determine the level of development of the playing apparatus of the brass players and correlate it’s with the quality of the sound producing. Visualizing the activities of the playing process helps to identify unused muscles and reduce technical difficulties of brass players during performance.
