Also, it does seem that the Clarion register is easier to play if I give it
a lot of air. But then it plays pretty loud. Can the high notes be played
softly, or is it really necessary to blow more forcefully to get those
notes? It also highlights the fact that I need to get a little more
exercise. Wheeze.>>

Blowing hard and SUPPORTING are two different things...when you are beginning, it is easier to support when you play loud. Remember how it feels to play loud...keep the same breath support....then just blow less air through the clarinet...PRESTO....pianissimo!

Try it...
