Howdy all,
Thanks for all the advice, info and support about my throat infection - it seems to have all cleared up after a heavy dose of antibiotics! My new concern, and still with the throat, is whenever I play E-flat clarinet, I get a sore throat. It's obviously a sore muscle thing because it stops hurting in a matter of hours, but happens after only 30 minutes of playing it.
The thing is, whenever I try a less tense embochoure & throat position, I don't seem to get quite the same tone; flat high register, spread tone, unreliable intonation, and just generally not great.
Where am I going wrong? Can someone give me some pointers about E-flat clarinet embochoure? My teacher isn't an E-flat player and I'm really not sure where else to look!
Thanks in advance!
