The following is an excerpt from “The History, Theory, and Practice of Anatowind” written by the late Joseph Simmons.
“A New Concept - In the history of Anatowind, a basic concept was established: In as much as all players have different teeth, lip, and jaw structures, it is going to be impossible to take any one of these given students and route future musical development on one embouchure and respiratory system. If we understand the muscles and how they are related to the teeth, lips, and jaw, then the information can be taken and made to work for any player. Therefore we are trying to establish that a basic problem existed in 1933, in that we did not have the physiological vocabulary to take any player and direct the muscular development.”
This established the basic concept of Anatowind and as a result of this research the Patent was issued in 1961. This helped established the fact that there is one coordinated approach that could be applied to every individual.
If you are interested in updating your musical approach, Anatowind can help.
