Subj: Re: [kl] should the embouchure move?

I knew of a teacher who would stand behind the student and hold the
clarinet for him/her while the student had the clarinet in their mouth.
The student would close their eyes in order not to see the note the
teaching was fingering. The teacher would say blow and almost always
the student would either honk or squeak supposedly proving that every
note required subtle changes of oral cavity, lip pressure and
embouchure. I'm not sure how scientific this is but it did show that
there are subtle changes in the mouth and embouchure with notes that are
even very close to one another.
