Joe Allard's Toothpicks

Author: Ken Shaw ★2017

There's an interesting article at p. 50 of the new issue of The Clarinet (June 2009) about Joe Allard's teaching methods. John Cippola notes that Allard taught that the lower lip should be flat, like a shelf. As an exercise, "he put toothpicks in the sides of the mouth to keep the corners down and not curled up."

Is there an Allard student out there who could describe this in more detail? Did he just stick toothpicks in the corners of the mouth? Did they project out to the front or the sides, or up or down?

Many thanks.
