| Re: tongue and jaw position
These are some issues that are extrmemly difficult to diagnose over the internet. Having the horn point down as one ascends is perfectly normal. My one concern might be your lower lip "curling in"--if caused by a colapse of the embouchure it might cause some sound/accuracy problems down the road to our goal of higher, louder, faster. Five minutes spent with a good teacher could answer that question.
Have fun!
