 High notes too harsh
Author: Matt_Clarinet 
Date:   2014-09-10 12:17

When playing in the altissimo register of the clarinet, I tend to find that the notes are always sounding too harsh, and especially loud. Usually to play notes from this register I have to use a lot more air than I would normally because otherwise they won't come out properly. This results in a sound that is much too loud. The only way that I have managed to play them softly and in tune is to bite, which is painful and I have been advised against doing. Would anyone have any suggestions on how to play the high notes with a softer and less piercing tone?
