I think I learned from a video on youtube...can't find the specific video, but I learned it something like this..
1. puff your cheeks out, and then push them in with your hands making, as alexi says, a raspberry sound.
2. Do the same thing, but without using your hands - use your cheek muscles
3. repeat step two, but focus on doing it in a really controlled, slower manner - no raspberries
4. repeat step 3, but as you push the air out from your cheeks breath in through your nose
5. repeat step 4, but add the transition from pushing the air out from your cheeks, to blowing normally again - try to get it smooth
6. step 5 - but with a clarinet in your mouth playing an open G.
Have fun! But as Alexi says...it's not necessary when you have another player on the stand for the performance, and doing it at the end of a long piece (I've played Lux before), on a quiet note, with an audience listening, is very different from doing it out of context in a practice room.
