There is the possibility that your jaw moves slightly as you go from note to note. This is a very common problem. Some people get a chirp, others a tiny honk or squack or others get a thud. So make sure that your jaw does not move when you tongue. It's a very bad habit and needs to be corrected if this is your problem/

Hi Dee, This could be it. I never took lessons except what my Junior High band teacher taught me--I'm planning to take some this year. I hope I don't have too many bad habits; they can be very hard to un-learn. When I was in college, I took golf lessons (1977) and I was doing so many things that the teacher didn't like that by the time he was through with me I gave up golf. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss. Except I like the clarinet more than I liked golf--it made me cuss.
