I'll try to explain this.hmmm well i play with the mouthpeice on most of my bottom lip and a very tiny portion on the top. My teacher said that its wrong and i should play with it evenly on both top and bottom lips and thats what's causing my big problem, horrible endurance. I can play really high with this emobochure but when i do its not as loud so im guessing thats why.Should i fix this or practice more using the same embochure?

My bad director told me that your bottom lip was stronger than your top, and have more mouthpeice on the bottom lip. I can play 3 different way, Most of moutpeice on top, even on top and bottom, and most on bottom. I prefer the last 2.

if you change what ebrochure you primarily use you will have problems at first.your mouth isnt used to the change in where your mouthpiece is. keep pracitcing the way your director told you. though it might take some time it will get better.
