Sandy, I don't think dean MOrley was fooled.  Of course, I explained to him
what I meant.  I remember when I first started playing, my cheeks wanted to
pooch out.  I had to learn to keep them in.  It takes practice to develop
the facial muscles to from the right ombature.  I would guess you will want
to start with number 2 reeds or even a bit lower.  Your teacher will tell
you what to start with.  Before playing, put the reed in your mouth to soak
a bit and get some moisture into it.  Curl your lips in to cover your
teeth, scrunch your mouth around the mouth piece  and rest the reed on your
bottom lip.  I wish I were there to get you started with the fingerings for
the notes.
