Musikat,
Thanks for your input! Much appreciated! It sounds as if your first teacher wasn't fully qualified and I'm glad that Interlochen was able to correct your embouchure problem.
I've tried the method you described that Interlochen wanted you to use. When I do it, my right muscles are very weak due to embouchure dystonia so I have to offset my mouthpiece slightly to the right. However, when I tried the method you mentioned, because my thumb nail is obviously curved, when I pushed in on the sides, I could sense that the flatness of the skin over my lower teeth near the left and right edge was "crunching up". I sense this hopefully wouldn't happen with a flat reed surface. Actually, I look upon your method as the "drawstring" approach which has been mentioned on this BB before.
Thanks again for sharing your experiences!
I'm looking forward to reading first teacher experiences from others!
