I'm teaching two beginners right now, both of whom are having a hard time with getting over the break. I do the sort of thing where I have them start on open G and go up to C, playing each note slowly and focusing on air as they go up, but it's not working so well. Any suggestions on what else I might have them do to improve it?

Also, other than Benny Goodman, are there any suggestions out there for "fun" professional clarinet players I could recommend for students to listen to? The girls I teach both just finished 5th grade and I want them to be exposed to good clarinet playing and hopefully keep them interested in what they're doing.

Thanks!
