RE: Throat and Tone Color

Arch your tongue in the back of your throat like you are imitating a cat's hiss. This will help focus the air stream and improve your tone. Also, if you use a traditional embouchure (top teeth on mp), try using more pressure from your top lip and ease off the "tooth only" bite. If you care to try, "double lip" embouchure techniue is probably the best instant tone fix you can make. To help do "double lip" form your lips around the mp without using your teeth on top of the beak and blow like you are pushing a lot of air throgh a soda straw. Hope this helps a bit. Come back and let us know how you are doing or if you have more questions. Good clarineting!!!!!!!
