It cannot be stated as 'the truth'.When teaching anything, one would presume to have at least basics already established, so if one taught sax, for example, one would already be cognisant of embouchure forming. What I hoped to imply was that when teaching something, the concepts generally become clearer in the mind, and often physically, due to having to have a clearer vision of aspects to impart to one's student. In the early stages,I find that posture, technique etc. incidental | |

If you were, say, to teach redox equations to a chem class, then, sure you'd have to fully understand redox, and teaching would help. For teaching music, absolutely not. You would never (I hope!) suggest that you'd learn proper sax embouchure by teaching sax. | |
