The Embouchure Project
Welcome to The Embouchure Project Podcast, where we bring together the finest minds in the world to help understand the complex system that is the embouchure.
The Embouchure Project represents a network of neurologists, scientists, physical therapists, psychologists and pedagogues. The goal is to help define what a healthy embouchure is, what we can do to optimize the embouchure, and to deal with problems as they arise. A lot of our time will be devoted to embouchure dysfunction from minor annoyances to debilitating forms of dystonia, we hope that all players, teachers and medical professionals will find this to be a rich resource.
Join the host, Australian horn player Frankie Lo Surdo as he and his guests dive into the intricate world of the embouchure.

Gail Williams: Chicago Symphony Orchestra Veteran and Northwestern Professor (a LEGEND of horn) Talks All Things Pedagogy
Today we welcome legendary teacher and horn player, Gail WIlliams. She began her career in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1978 and stayed there until 1998, when she became professor of horn at Northwestern University. She continues to play and teach around the world. She is known for her kindness, wisdom and honesty. She will modestly tell you that she teaches the same thing over and over, but those who have been lucky enough to study with her know that you will never get to the bottom of her depth of understanding when it comes to making music beautifully using a Horn. We are delighted to have her on our podcast!
