look for his new book about
"Embouchure Building" which Gary Van Cott will also have when it is
available. I got an advance copy, and for teachers particularly it should
be very useful. It has good, clear concepts about forming an embouchure,
and once again, practical exercises for developing a good embouchure. I
have to confess that I was a little skeptical. I once studied with a
teacher (quite well known, and a great teacher) who was derisively
referred to as a "teacher of the embouchure". Larry won my interest with
his description of the embouchure as a "valve" that helps us to use and
control the air that we use to play. I found it to be full of good
information, lucidly presented.

Gary, do you have it in stock yet?

Usual disclaimer - I have no financial or other interest in this book,
just very impressed with it.

***************
Larry Guy emailed me on 10/4 and said he was sending it, so I am
expecting it any moment. It will be $14.95 the same as Larry's other
books.

I also have an advance copy. I was very intrigued by Larry's statement
"American Clarinetists don't smile." My teacher taught the smile. But I
have found that it is actually very easy to change to what I think Larry
has in mind (the benefit of a flat chin). It is a much more comfortable
embouchure.
