Having been out of an intense practice regimen for a while, I am
inquiring on the best possible practice steps to achieve a truly dark and
rich tone (isn't that every clarinetist's goal?) At this point in my
playing, I don't have a lot of centrality or purity in my tone; it sounds
overly-bright or "high strung," for lack of a better word. What are some
techniques that all of you have found to be successful in achieving the
focused and pure sound that I am looking for? The more details the better -
i.e. reeds, embouchre, ligature, amount of practice, technique books -
whatever you want to comment on! Thanks!
