> I am a first year grad student at Michigan State, and never in my life
have I played bass clarinet until this semester. I love it. I'm playing
it in wind symphony. I seem to have a problem playing notes any higher than
fifth line F. I can't get a sound, or if I do I squeak. Does anyone have
any advice to offer this frustrated bass clarinetist. I'm really looking
to improve on this instrument as much as possible.

Thanks,

Nicole Morizio
