Re: Lower Lip Problems

"The first way seems to make my corners pull out too far, so that I get air leakage. In both methods, my chin remains pointed and my top lip remains the same, so the amount of lower lip only seems to affect my corners and tone."

If you're leaking air out of the corners, then you aren't committing all the air necessary to excite the reed they way it should (and perhaps deliver the sound you want). As opposed to looking at it as if the lower lip causes the corners to do something, why don't you try the other way around?

Obviously the embouchure is a fluid system of interlocking variables.

Good luck!
