If you haven't tried it at home yet, be sure to play it "fff" !!!

It will get a laugh, and if you ham it up a bit --- make a big show of
taking a really huge breath with your shoulders & arms & chest, rather
than taking in air the 'proper' way --- you will capture everyone's
attention for sure when you get down to the lower 'bell notes'. Then
you can move on to explain what the demonstration has shown about where
various pitches are formed and from where much of a clarinet's sound is
radiated.

Cheers,
Bill
