Although I haven't changed my embouchure as yet (although as the days
progress I think I should - or give up completely!!!!! ) you may find John
Ridgeon's tutor book "How Brass Players' Do It " a tremendous help.

Can't think off the top of my head who it is published by (the name Brass
Wind comes to mind though) as I lent my copy to a student and have not had
it returned as yet.

Good luck..
