Here’s an article about fingers and hands. Some people take great care with their hand and finger positions whilst others aren’t so fussed. Personally I think having well positioned and relaxed fingers can bring positive benefits to your playing.

This is a good exercise for developing embouchure control. Once you get onto the harmonic just let the lips totally flop and pout to encourage a relaxed embouchure. If you have trouble getting to the harmonic easily try tonguing each note lightly to avoid tightening as you ascend.
