Re: Tired mouth problems

Hi Joan. For the last year or so I've been having the same problem which I have been attributing to age. I'll be 70 next March. My Oboe playing lacks stamina now also. Like you, my Flute playing is not affected. I use a double embouchure with the Clarinet and have been doing so for years. Now after about 10 minutes playing I have to revert back to single embouchure and even then after about 20 minutes or so I've had enough. Ah well, life goes on. If it really is an age related problem I'll just have to adapt to a new approach to music and take it a bit more easier from now on. Music will , as long as I have reasonably good hearing, be an important part of my life. I have an excellent collection of CDs. I don't think this is going to cheer you up
