About a year ago (year2/3 of playing) or so, I noticed that I had a markedly different position of embouchure when playing high to when playing low which obviously can slow you down.

I decided to try and play all notes with pretty much the same embouchure, just tighter or looser. This seems to have worked OK. I cannot remember the change being a particular problem, though it was not quick.
