| Re: Embouchure question
I only advocate embouchure changes where there is really something wrong and the change will fix it. What you are doing doesn't seem to fit into the "doing something wrong" category. Axiom to live by: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Make sure that you are getting all you can get out of your present embouchure before you decide to change. An embouchure change can be traumatic. And sometimes the change isn't any better. Plus, to make an embouchure change work requires an enormous amount of diligence. A great deal of practice precisely at a time when we don't want to practice because we sound bad and it doesn't work well. Think long and hard about an embouchure change. I generally don't recommend one except in dire circumstances.
By the way, I've found that a series of very easy small steps works way better than a large change.
Probably way more information than you wanted.
