Changing the subject, but following off the end of the previous post, I have an exercise I do that works for me in keeping my embouchure balanced. I replace the ligature with a shoelace that is wrapped just tight enough to hold the butt of the read flat against the mouthpiece. If I can then play the instrument without sliding the reed around, I know I am not applying any unbalanced forces to the reed in odd directions (it's hard enough to find or create a well balanced reed without adding unnecessary, unbalanced forces). I know it's weird and not for everyone, but it helps and works for me.
The idea came from a workshop I attended where the "correct" embouchure for a trumpet was demonstrated when the instrument was played hands free while suspended from the ceiling on strings.
