In this video, I answer a question from a beginner harmonica student about the best harmonica embouchure and if there is a wrong way to learn. What is embouchure? Lip-Pursing, Tongue-Blocking or U-Blocking?
Every Wednesday I do a live-streamed Q and A session for members of Tomlin Harmonica School. It’s a great place for students to get specific questions answered live. If you’re interested, check out the school at https://tomlinharmonicaschool.com/.
