Jacobs Almost Live
A live presentation
featuring video clips of Mr. Jacobs
The
Embouchure

"I rarely find problems with the
embouchure. That might sound strange because
people come to see me because of problems with
their embouchure, but frequently it is the
embouchure reacting to a bad set of circumstances
and failing—it is simply cause and effect."
