Elisa Koehler: “Mouthpiece Buzzing Exposes (and Often Cures) a Multitude of Embouchure Problems”

In this newly added interview, we have Elisa Koehler (professor at Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland, USA), and also the author of the interesting books, “Fanfares and Finesse: A Performer’s Guide to Trumpet History and Literature”, and “A Dictionary for the Modern Trumpet Player”. Her experience in teaching, performing, directing, and researching is really impressive. And the exercise she shares with our subscribers to simulate a natural trumpet on the modern trumpet in B-flat is fascinating!
