Too much lower lip!

Author: saxlite

My teacher (Fred Rast ) constantly corrects my lower lip placement- I get the right amount of lip on the reed at first, but almost immediately the lip creeps back into my mouth and covers the reed tip, reducing the resonance. I'm frustrated since I know well what I should be doing, but can't seem to hold the postion very long. I have a fair amount of overbite, which I'm sure is contributing to the problem. Any suggestions as to how to stop this "lip creep" issue?
