In response to rdc:

When hissing “key”, I think that my tongue is farther back than my usual tongue position. However when trying to play the clarinet that way, I get no sound and just squeaks. I think my problem is the amount of force I use that is required to produce a sound. The way I do it, I use a lot of my tongue to press against the reed causing the vibration because otherwise I am unable to produce any sound. That’s why my tongue moves forward to produce that force. Is my embouchure too lose? Am I supposed to get a sound by just blowing into the clarinet without having to touch the reed with my tongue or can I get a good sound by blowing fast air into the instrument while lightly touching the reed?

My understanding is that the clarinet produces a sound when the reed is able to vibrate. Is my air supposed to cause the reed to vibrate without the tongue helping it? The only way I was able to produce any sound without my tongue touching the reed was when I put very little mouthpiece into my mouth. I slurred all the way to open G (and A) then I squeaked as I went higher.

I tried anchor tonguing but it looks very similar to my usual tonguing. My tongue keeps pushing against my lips. I feel the middle of my tongue pressing against the reed, causing it to vibrate and produce a sound as the tip of my tongue is touching my bottom lip. However, my lips are still moving as the sides of my tongue are pushing my lips.
