"To demonstrate, she used to ask me to try to push her oboe out of her mouth while she was playing. Her embouchure was firm enough that the instrument did not move when I pushed it. My embouchure -- well, it was a pushover!"

My teacher used to do this with me as well. The other thing he still does occasionally is to press down on the base of the reed while I'm playing - more pressure on the bottom lip immediately improves the tone.

The other thing I have noticed with lots of his young beginners is that they often put too much reed in their mouth and that their tone instantly improves when they move the reed further out.
