Trumpet embouchure change part 1

Just wanted to share my thoughts on the dreaded embouchure "change" that I have been pursuing for a few years. It's been a slow process searching for a better, easier, more efficient way to play the trumpet. Thought it may be fun to follow the process.
No "how to" here, just my thoughts.

I think this is an excellent approach to getting better on the trumpet. Very "healthy" and intelligent discussion of what so many of us are trying to do in order to achieve higher proficiency and greater musicality. A no-nonsense video that applies to all of us bitten by the bug, so to speak. I hope you make more videos of your musical journey.

I’m with you brother. I believe it is based on the mechanism/setting as well. I played off to the side and seemed to just mash my upper lip and it would swell up after long days. Inconsistency alone finally drove me to make the change.
I moved it to center and about 50/50 upper and lower lip.
There is some intuition involved in this and each practice session I get a little closer to what I feel is my unique setting while solidifying the setting on my chops.

You’re not alone! I’ve been pressing my lips so hard on the trumpet and cause a lot of injuries and also I’ve been self shaming because others are playing better than me. That’s why I have decided to change my embouchure. Let’s work hard together.
