He&#8217;s got a few performance videos on there as well as some videos where he discusses his philosophy of music practice and performance. There&#8217;s some really excellent and inspiring things there, you should explore it. All of the videos I watched were well produced too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the videos I enjoyed very much was his performance of a piece called\u00a0<em>Tresin Terra<\/em>, by David M. Rodgers. Wilson&#8217;s performance is amazing. His tone is consistent and beautiful across the entire range. His playing is not only technically impressive but also very expressive. The composition is also very cool. I was watching the video trying to look for Wilson&#8217;s embouchure type, but I kept getting lost in the music. Take a look and see if, like me, you had to go back to guess Jeremy Wilson&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/wilktone.com\/?p=7337\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"7337\">embouchure type<\/a>. I will put my guess under the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pMiyKeDxpdI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are plenty of good views of Wilson&#8217;s embouchure. His mouthpiece placement has more upper lip inside, which makes it one of the two basic downstream embouchure types. His embouchure motion is a bit harder to spot, party because he moves around a bit while he performs and it&#8217;s a bit harder to spot the smaller embouchure motion when covered by a larger motion of his body. Watching closely I&#8217;m fairly certain that he is pulling his mouthpiece and lips down to descend and pushing them up to ascend, which would make his embouchure type the very common &#8220;very high placement&#8221; embouchure type. I think I even can spot some angular deviation in the up\/down track of his embouchure motion where it looks like he pulls down and a bit to his right to descend. This sort of phenomenon is fairly common with players of all embouchure types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will have to check out more of Jeremy Wilson and David M. Rodgers, who I also had not heard of before seeing this video. I&#8217;m already a fan of both.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wasn&#8217;t familiar with Jeremy Wilson&#8217;s playing or teaching prior to coming across his YouTube channel.
