I went through enough of this to have an ideaabout it, I guess.
So, Kenīs advice is one good thing, mary annīs I still woulkd like to emphasise: make sure your cheeks are not puffed, the main buzz is well centered on your lips, and last not least move ample amounts of air with the least possible amount of force. (use an abundance of air, it doesnīt cost a dime!) remember: itīs called a "windinstrument", so, produce wind in your instrument, not pressure! move the air, donīt force it. Imagine a string-bass-player: the amount of pressure he puts on the string with his bow, doesnīt make it sound any better, it depends on how much length he uses. your air mustnīt be pressurised, but easily moving through a well centered buzz on the embouchure.
FWIW,
