Re: Teaching sound projection to young students

Meri,
What a hard job we have in reducing the aural impression of clarinet timbre to mere words.
I'm a lot more than 14 years old and find myself wondering how your pupils can make a 'good, strong sound' yet you are worried about their projection. Is the sound too unfocussed? (it was good) Do they have trouble making themselves heard? (it was strong) Can you try to define more specifically what you would like to be different.
Do you play to them, or even better, along with them in their lessons? There's nothing like copying to speed up development.
