Embouchure
"I rarely find problems with the embouchure. That might sound strange because people come to see me because of problems with their embouchure, but frequently it is the embouchure reacting to a bad set of circumstances and failing—it is simply cause and effect."

Ask Mr Jacobs
Mr. Jacobs usually closed masterclasses with a session where students asked the master questions. In preparation for Arnold Jacobs Almost Live, we have looked through masterclass tapes from 1984-1998. In Ask Mr. Jacobs some of the most common questions are answered plus students are invited to ask questions. With over 150 gigabytes of video files, if there is a video clip of Mr Jacobs talking about a specific subject, it is played. While Mr. Jacobs is no longer with us, this is the next best thing!
Ask Mr. Jacobs is a unique ending for Arnold Jacobs Almost Live. As the questions vary, each session is different. Videos of Mr. Jacobs and recordings of the Chicago Symphony are played. There are a few subjects that do not fit in the other sessions that are brought up. Finally, Mr Jacobs plays the tuba and says goodbye. This is not the end of the session! Those who studied with Mr Jacobs form a panel to add their own comments and discuss Mr. Jacobs' teachings to the new generation of Jacobs students!
