Subj: Embouchure Help.

Hello.
I have replied several times before to this newsgroup but I have a
serious question. I have been playing for about 9 years and my tounguing
has always been sloppy. Last year one of my professors told me I was slap
tonguing and he tried to help me fix it but I still am slap tonguing.
Then today while practicing,, I noticed that the tip of my tongue
actually goes under my lower lip. I think I have been using 2 much lower
lip because when I tried putting less lip today I got a louder sound and
fuller. But it sounds
like a beginner. Am I finally finding the correct embouchure and will I
be able to tongue mor fluidly??? Thanks in advance for any comments.
