<< I have a 8th grade clarinet player with good tone, average technique,
and horrible pitch. She is constantly flat. She plays on a Selmer 100

option right now. Any suggestions on how to fix her pitch. I know the
whole "raise the tongue" thing, anything else that has worked for some
of you in the past?

Find a used shorter barrel. Maybe a repair shop will have one laying around.
Or, have her barrel shortened, at least 1 mm. Shouldn't cost more than $20.
