      When ascending, should one try to keep the lips even and on top of each other like saying TU and adjust the aperture corners from there, or does the lower lip roll in over the lower teeth creating an overlap?

      It is best to avoid rolling the lips over the teeth. Although there is no perfect way that is the same for everyone, ideally the lips stay aligned and forward and the Aperture Corners firm inwards horizontally and in the aaahoooh. Cheers

      Thank you, Mr. Spence. Most helpful.

        Greg,

        For me, this is the best written description of the embouchure set up I have read. Simple but accurate. Thanks.
