<<What Robert Moody seems to be 'grabbing' for himself is not at all new.>>

Sorry it came across that way. Here...I'll share it with the others who
teach it that way. ;-)

<<Children themselves discover these altissimo notes in their over-exuberant
<show off> displays to their peers. It doesn`t have to be taught. They know,
if the instrument has been demonstrated properly before their decision to
take it up, that the instrument <can> do these high notes.>>

Exactly. But...magically...as we train them with our "this is the right way
to play the clarinet" they seem to forget/lose this natural ability. :-(

<<Their own imitating is a preparation for Robert`s preparation.>>

Sounds good to me. It will make the job even easier! {:-D

Honestly! I agree and I am more than happy to share anything wrongfully
attributed to me as being new or different with anyone else who approaches
it the same way. I would just like to see it used and...well...sure, I'd
like to have something good attached to my name. That seems to be hard to
do these days. :-)

Robert
