Re: air support revisited

Natural yes, but there is methodology to increase the steadiness of the air column as it relates to blowing into a clarinet to achieve resonance, volume and sustained phrases. All your diaphragm does is draw the air into the lungs. As you state, it is the intercostals that will create the push outward.

Focusing on the results, such as the sound you are getting, is the best use of your mind's attention but it does help to know the fundamentals of what's going on just in case the main path you are on is lacking some basics. I for one spent many years getting a less than resonant sound simply because I had an inconsistant, unsupported, unfocused air column.
