Hi all,
I have just picked up my clarinet for the first time in years and immediately started gettig sore cheek muscles. So I thought I'd research embouchure technique, and most of the links that came up on Google said that your top teeth should touch the mouthpiece.
That feels totally wrong to me - when I'm pulling my lower lip over my bottom teeth, I automatically pull my upper lip over my top teeth and I'm pretty sure I was taught to do that. Admittedly my last lesson was around 40 years ago, so I could be remembering wrong!
I tried playing with top teeth touching mouthpiece and got a good enough sound, but the vibration through my teeth was really annoying.
If anyone has any tips for the most comfortable and effective embouchure, I'd be very grateful!
Cheers
Claire
