Maybe it's not embouchure. Maybe it's ear.

Can you sing the trouble-prone songs & phrases accurately? If not, maybe the target pitches are not centered right in your mind.

In effect, you've got to hear the pitches accurately in advance of playing them -- i.e., know what you're going for.

Hard to hit 'em if you can't hear 'em.

I've noticed that on certain songs/phrases that I can consistantly nail extremely high notes, where there are others in which I have to struggle for even a top-of-staff G. I have also realized that I have formed bad embouchre habits only in these passages. Does any one have any insight into this, or a similar experience?
