You are playing very much 'one note at a time' and tongueing each
note. I think your sound would improve if you firstly stop tongueing
and play a phrase at a time. This will force you to use more breath
support. When you listen then use the tongue only where essential to
shape each phrase.

I put together a "holiday" concert for my friends on YouTube. It's been
twenty years since I've seriously played, and I know that I am woefully
horrible. Fibromyalgia doesn't help because my brain and my fingers
sometimes don't talk...but with that introduction, if any of the more
experienced players on the list would love to give me tips, hints, tell
me all the things I'm doing wrong... I'd very much appreciate it.

Many thanks. My clarinet playing is very much my solace, and I am always
striving to improve.
