How do you make a saxophone embouchure?

Next, put the mouthpiece in your mouth and form an airtight seal all the way around by pressing the corners of your mouth and your top lip against the mouthpiece.
What is the mouth of a saxophone called?
On single-reed instruments, such as the clarinet and saxophone, the mouthpiece is that part to which the reed is attached. Its function is to provide an opening through which air enters the instrument and one end of an air chamber to be set into vibration by the interaction between the air stream and the reed.
