When I picked up my horn today, I noticed that my lips felt great: they buzzed and responded excellently and they were in top-shape condition and strength. However, it seems that my lips fall in stages, which, to say the least, is not good. One week my lips will be quite rigid and stiff, so I will have to make up for it by altering other aspects of my playing, and sometimes they may be weak. How would you suggest that one maintain and care for their lips, besides using common knowledge of not over-exercising the muscles? Thanks for the help.
