Hi everyone. I'm a high school senior that's been playing for a few years (no private lessons, though). Recently I feel that my tone has been getting worse (or maybe I just never noticed it before). It would have a really 'airy' sound, like there was a lot of saliva or condensation inside the clarinet. I can't seem to get rid of it.
In addition to that, I'd like to just generally improve my poor tone, but I don't know how to go about doing that. Something I keep hearing is "play long tones", but that's not exactly very helpful. What should I be focusing on while I "play long tones"? Is there something specific I should be listening for? What else could I be doing to improve my tone?
Thank you in advance! All help is appreciated.
