Well that's unfortunate! I am not planning on majoring in clarinet as I dedicate a lot of my other time into math and science but I might minor. I am only a sophomore in highschool and only in the past 2 years have I started practicing a lot. This year, I went to a very well reputed music camp to try and improve my ability and in the upcoming school year, I plan on being first chair clarinet. In the future, I hope to make ILMEA and eventually if I ever get good enough, I hope to make All State for ILMEA as well. I practice 2 hours daily as of right now.

I just wanted to show my current level of dedication. Would you recommend I start re-learning my embouchure? If I work on my embouchure for 4 hours daily, will I be able to change it relatively quickly?

To talk more about the embouchure specifically, how much support should my bottom lip provide? My clarinet moves in my mouth which should not happen as it further indicates that my embouchure is not firm enough. I feel as if my top teeth is biting decently hard and my bottom teeth has left a minor cut (mark) on my bottom lip causing it to hurt a little bit every time I play the clarinet. Maybe I am biting enough but the firmness of my lips needs to increase?

Any recommendations of exercises that can strengthen my embouchure quicker? I do not want to give up as I have come very far. I kinda now wish I had a private teacher but I guess I have to just learn from this mistake.

I truly appreciate everyone's help. Thank you so much.
