The 17th century did not yet know the etude in the modern sense. However, we know from Johann Sebastian Bach that he wrote pieces with an etude-like character for his students; moreover, he had them practice touch exercises on the piano for months—or, in his own words, preferably for years—that is, daily finger exercises according to the motto: It is of little use to get in shape if nothing is done to stay in shape.
From this perspective—applied to our instrument and the lips—you should view the following embouchure-building exercises. They are not intended as warm-ups, although this term certainly applies to some of these exercises. Taken as a whole, they serve rather to build muscle, comparable to an athlete’s training. Just like an athlete, we too must gradually increase our performance capacity. The muscles and organs involved adapt to the increased strain, but only if the training is systematic and rational. Try to gradually master the full length of each exercise, like a long-distance runner, in ever-shorter periods of time. Depending on the level of difficulty, one to a maximum of three exercises over several days in addition to your daily workload are sufficient.
You should not begin further exercises until you have mastered the previous ones with absolute ease, following the instructions of my embouchure method, and have reached a satisfactory level of rhythm and tone. The deliberately simple finger combinations make it easier to control the movements of the diaphragm, lips, and tongue within the oral cavity. Form a mental image of these movements and always compare yourself to a performer whose guiding principle is: There are no secrets, at most small tricks that can be learned. Schoolwork
