(2021) LAMP72 20211Malmö Academy of Music
- Abstract
- The purpose of this study is to investigate the methods used by brass teachers to instruct tone production and embouchure to young beginners, as well as examine what perspective that could be added to this subject by brass playing speech therapists. Data was collected from two focus groups – one with four experienced brass teachers, and one with two speech therapists with experience from brass playing.
The result shows both unity and disagreement amongst the informants about the foundations of a good embouchure and how it should be instructed to pupils. There is unity amongst all that the air and breathing plays an important role for the embouchure. The brass teachers of this study disagree about the size of the lip aperture as well as...

The brass teachers of this study disagree about the size of the lip aperture as well as the use of lip buzzing to develop tone production and the shaping of the embouchure. Imitation is used by the brass teachers as the main tool for instructing embouchure. The speech therapists claims that this could be challenging for some children and that different methods of instructions might be needed. Concepts of holistic thinking and specificity in practice were brought up by the speech therapists and from their answers it could be deduced that individual adaptation and the self-awareness of pupils/patients are important principles in their work. These principles should be able to be combined with, and enrich, the work of brass educators. (Less) - Abstract (Swedish)
- Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka brasspedagogers metoder för att instruera tonproduktion och embouchure för yngre nybörjare samt vilka perspektiv som kan tillföras detta ämne från logopeder som spelar brassinstrument. Data samlades in genom två fokusgrupper, en med fyra erfarna brasspedagoger och en med två logopeder med erfarenhet av att spela brassinstrument.
Resultatet visar på såväl enighet som oenighet hos informanterna kring vad som ligger till grund för en bra embouchure och hur detta ska instrueras till elever. Det finns en enighet bland samtliga om att luften och andningen har en central roll även för embouchuren.

Resultatet visar på såväl enighet som oenighet hos informanterna kring vad som ligger till grund för en bra embouchure och hur detta ska instrueras till elever. Det finns en enighet bland samtliga om att luften och andningen har en central roll även för embouchuren. Brasspedagogerna i studien visar på skilda uppfattningar kring hur stor öppningen mellan läpparna bör vara vid spel samt huruvida tonproduktionen och formandet av embouchuren ska övas med hjälp av buzzing. Brasspedagogerna använder sig av imitation som främsta verktyg för att instruera embouchure. Logopederna menar att detta kan vara utmanande och att vissa barn kan behöva få instruktioner på alternativa sätt. Logopederna lyfte fram begrepp som helhetstänk och specificitet i övningar och ur deras svar kunde utläsas att individanpassning och elevers/patienters självmedvetenhet är viktiga principer i deras arbete. Dessa principer bör kunna sammanföras till, och berika, brasspedagogers praktik. (Less)
