One thing that I do which does not seem to be normal with my embouchure
I learned from my sax teacher at University of Miami. He had me unfold
my lip from my bottom teeth, so that my teeth are not digging into
my lip. This took months to develop the strength to play saxophone,
and a little while longer on clarinet, but I find that it only takes
my a couple of days to get back into shape and be able to play for
3 or four hours at a time now.
