Re: Clarion A5 and throat tension

do overtone excercises. play the low C and then try to play the clarion G without using the register key. The intonation is not the goal here so don't try to be in-tune, it's impossible.
Try to do this on all fingerings- playing the fundemental and then the 12th. After this feels good (a few weeks of 15min/day) you can try to the next harmonic.
Eventually you will be able to play high notes with the real fingerings much easier.
[edit] each note of the overtone excercise should be played seperately. Don't bother trying to slur from a low to a higher overtone.
