my reed is moving inside my mouth, and my teacher told me to try and stop that.
what can i do to make it stop moving?
more pressure?

What do you mean by moving? Is it sliding back and forth? Is it sliding side to side? Be more specific.

Try "pulling" your lips in over your teeth for reinforecment, but don't "bite" the reed.
