Subj: [kl] Flat Chin+Tight Grip
Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2011 09:48:11 -0400

I'm having trouble understanding how to keep my chin flat while playing.
When I draw my chin downward, it forces me to open my mouth somewhat,
and of course air escapes. I would appreciate it if someone would try to
explain how to do this. I don't have a music teacher, so I've been
trying to learn correct embouchure from http://www.clarinet-now.com/.
The website says to try smiling, growling...none of this works because
the muscles I use to flatten my chin are the same muscles I use to keep
the bottom jaw closed over the mouthpiece.

Thanks.

H.
