Audrey,

Without providing a lesson for you or anyone else, it is somewhat hard to
describe. Certainly you don't think all clarinetists approach the
instrument in the same way??

Beyond that, you don't think students at the high school level blow air,
have flexibility (all three ways) and voice the instrument the same way as
what I referred to as "pros" do you????

Best wishes,
Roger Garrett
