EXCELLENTLY said, Ceri!

I never knew about the top/bottom lips specialities. I have often noticed, however, that "smiling" (even with dropped-jaw soft-lipping) does help with tuning: I won't say in which register, in what dynamics and under which type of passage - that's another thing that comes intuitively.

What I will say, however, is that it is too easy to rely on mouth movement and forget that everything must begin in the gut. Be it the diaphragm, solar-plexus or what have you, abdominal support (even when playing ppp) is easier (once mastered) and less tiring than mouth manipulations. The mouth is there for the fine stuff.

Ceri, how long have you been playing? You may or may not grow out of your reed style - I emphasize that reed scrape need be a function of your physiognomy. Do indeed try to follow your teacher's instructions, as well as those of any really good player in your entourage, because experience tops any theory. Your own experience will end up being the most important.
