Subj: [kl] Playing Clarinet With False Teeth
Date: Mon, 13 May 2002 12:55:22 -0400

Hello fellow Klarinet list members,

I have a very special friend who just recently started playing clarinet.
She has false teeth and is having a difficult time with her embouchure. She
tends to puff her cheeks (a la Dizzy Gillespie) to get air through the
clarinet. She loves to play the clarinet, but is getting frustrated with
her inconsistent embouchure and subsequent problems it causes. Has anyone
else experienced a similar problem or know of anyone else who has? You can
e-mail me privately if you don't want to post responses to the list.

Thanks for your help,
Howard Shapiro
