I've been playing clarinet as my primary instrument in the high school band for three years (after five of alto sax). I was taught single-lip embouchure since day one, and I've accrued a decent tone and steadiness with it that's gotten me high chairs in honours ensembles across the state. After recently visiting the music department of a local college, however, I came out convinced by the clarinet professor that double-lip was the way to go.
Thing is, I don't necessarily have an advanced embouchure or a perfectly steady air-stream or anything of that nature; i.e. I'm a beginner paling in comparison. Would switching to double-lip risk screwing up my already-established single-lip embouchure, making my upcoming college audition a blunder? Or would it be just something I could try and brush off if I dislike it after a few months or so? Thanks in advance.
P.S.: I've read post after post on the BBoard regarding double-lip embouchure, but there didn't seem to be much said by nor about those who weren't pros/'up there' or just started out double-lip to begin with.
