Chane,

This is a GREAT question! And I wish I could help you out with it, but I
hope someone will.

I wish you the absolute best of luck with getting into college and on making
the right impression with this piece.

But I think my advice to you at this point might be to just get yourself a
good mentor and work on your audition material.

Best of luck and keep plugging away! And keep those great questions coming!

Subject: [kl] von Weber Concertino Op. 26

Hello,
My name is Chane and I am a High School senior with plans to be a
band teacher.
In my auditions for college, I played von Weber's Concertino for
Clarinet Op. 26. Even though I feel I did a decent job for a small town,
small program student without a private teacher, I still want to advance
in the song. Does anyone have any advice? I especially need help with
the runs at bar 223 to the end. I get one or two of the bottom notes,
then silence for a few notes, and then the top notes sound. I think it
is an air issue, however I just can't get the air right. Any pointers?
Thanks,
Chane
