Subj: involuntary air leak
Date: Tue, 14 May 1996 19:54:22 -0400

Greetings to the Klarinet list.
I have a question for fellow clarinetists/teachers out there...

This concerns a student of mine who is having problems playing the
clarinet. I have a student who is losing control of the air , in
that air is involuntarily escaping from her nose while she is
playing. This happens after about 45 min. or so of practising. This
same student is also asthmatic, although this has not been a problem
while playing.

Has anyone experienced these sort of symptoms before, or can anyone
offer any advice as to how the student can deal with the problem..

Thanks in advance for your replies.
