Knowledge Platform and Theoretical Basic Course About Embouchure and Embouchure Problems in Brass: Special Symposium of the Nederlandse Vereniging voor Dans- en Muziekgeneeskunde (NVDMG), Ede, The Netherlands, December 3, 2021

Abstract

On Friday, December 3, 2021, the Dutch Performing Arts Medicine Association (NVDMG) organized the first “Knowledge Platform Symposium About Embouchure and Embouchure Problems in Brass,” at Akoesticum in Ede, The Netherlands. The intention of this symposium was to create a bridge between the brass world (brass players and brass pedagogues of several Dutch and Belgian conservatories) and physicians and therapists active in the treatment of embouchure problems. In the afternoon a “Theoretical Basic Course” about this topic was organized about the fundamentals of embouchure and how to observe in a structural way at the individual embouchure.
