Greetings,
I am a Clarinet performance major and have been frustrated with the issues of 1, air support and 2, tone of what I've produced from the clarinet.
In the case of issue 1, air support, it was largely link to issue no. 2, tone production of me playing on my clarinet, where I am often receiving responses heard that it is "bright", "weak with no air support", "weak on high notes", "bad tone"
As much as I've tried to improve them via embouchure, tongue placement, using the "aaahh" "eeee" "ooo" and et cetera, it was after a year and a half, still being greeted with comments that my tone was not fantastic enough.
Another 3rd issue is the issue of me constantly squeaking, especially during the large breaks, e.g (space E to altissimo range of any notes or a high C above the ledger line)
The fourth issue of air leaking from (especially my right side) of embouchure is slowly adapting well to trying having it not leaking.
I would really kindly like to seek any kind assistance and advices on what I should do to improve these issues, especially on my tone production. I understand everyone defines sound and tone as individual, but it somehow got to the state that even when I tried methods and felt that I had slowly gain a respectable tone, that it was largely not well received by some lecturers or learners in my surrounding.
Thank you very much and Have a nice day ahead.
