If we are referring to the same thing, have someone stand behind you
and hold the clarinet while you only have the mouthpiece in your
mouth. The person behind fingers a note without you knowing which
note it is and you blow. More than likely every note you blow will
squeak.

IMHO what Mark says is not so. I have found that with proper
embouchure and continual support almost all notes will play using the
method Mark describes.

I also don't believe that continual support *is* a myth. It's
absolutely the way I play and teach--beyond metaphor
