 Re: Embouchure question

"The one thing that baffles me is the idea that the embouchure should be 100% formed before the mouthpiece is ever inserted."

..and I respectfully don't agree with this. The embouchure is NEARLY formed before the mouthpiece is inserted in the mouth--not differently than I hand tighten a nut on a bolt before torquing it on tightly with a wrench.

The pressure on the mouthpiece, as applied by the mouth, would close the mouth without the mouthpiece there, and thereafter involve a mouthpiece insertion that would pry open the mouth, even if ever so gently. This might cause the lips to cover the top and bottom teeth, forming more of a double lip type embouchure than, at least, the single lip player might wish to form.
