About this exposition

The hesitation in the attack is a disorder of the embouchure process, in which, we do not manage to connect the inspiration correctly with the expiration and production of the sound, creating a sensation of tension in the facial muscles, and that prevents a good first attack. According to the preliminary data, a substantial number of brass musicians have suffered this hesitation in the attack in their life. In this stage many people overcome quickly and by themselves, but there is also another large group that try to ignore the problem, which usually becomes worse over time and gets more serious. This research contains interviews with different brass musicians who have suffered this problem in their student stage or later, telling their personal experience and how they overcame their problems with the hesitation. A survey submitted in Spain and the Netherlands has also been conducted in order to find out the knowledge of students and professionals on this subject. Following the working methodology of Dr. Jordi Albert, a planning has been created with different technical exercises to eradicate this difficulty and contribute more solutions to the already existing knowledge of this problem.
