I try not to focus on what my lips are doing, but rather focus on the air speed passing though the lips, and the air dircetion, being pushed either up or down by the lips. Focusing on squeezing your lips tighter will only give you an icky pinched sound and affect your endurance drasticaly.

just remember, the two things needed for high notes:
1. Air Speed
2. Air Direction


Any other opinions?
