Kent,

I met John Weigan back in February at the WVU honor band. At the masterclass
they sent all of the clarinetists to he had these really simple ways of
fixing breathing, embouchure, and biting problems. I am so guilty of biting.
He took two rubber bands and linked them together and dangled the mouthpiece
and barrel from it and told a boy to blow into it. Sometimes I bite so hard
that my mouthpiece will just pop out of my mouth.

Anyway, my band director told me about a music camp they did. I forgot about
that, but he is not sure if they will have it because of the renovations of
the CAC. I know that Marshall University does some type of jazz camp, but I
don't know about a more classical focused camp.
