About 50% of the time, when I'm playing D3, Eb3, or E3, I hit the G4, G#4, or A4 instead. I had a lesson with my private teacher, and he was saying that I need to focus more on a less tense throat, breathing from the abdomen, keeping the head and chin position up, keeping the clarinet closer to my body, taking in a little more mouthpiece, keeping the corners and my top lips applying pressure, and stretching the lower lip.
As impossible as it is, I have been doing my best to think of all these things while playing, and doing exercises such as C1-G3-C3, C#1-G#-C# ect... F2-C3-F4.
Most of the time, at the beginning of practicing, I can play this well. Then, I'll get into music that has a run to D3, and hit the G4. What are the most likely culprits of this problem? I don't have another lesson for a couple weeks, and I hate spending my entire practice time feeling like I'm not making any progress.
Thank you!
