I have a new student who has been taught a "smiley" type embouchure and I
am introducing him to a more upper-lip involved embouchure, a Robert
Marcellus style embouchure, more or less. Of course, what I teach is a
hodge-podge of Marcellus and other influences, but it is based on
Marcellus's hybrid of double-lip and single-lip embouchures.

My new student is very talented, but is suspicious of this new embouchure.
Does anyone know any reading materials that I could give him to read, to
explain it from another perspective than my own? Books, articles,
whatever...
