Re: mouthpiece squaks

If you have a very good teacher you would not have to ask for advice for this problem on the clarinet board. They should be able to see - hear what the problem is. I assume he-she has tried your mouthpiece to assure that is not the problem. The same with your reed combination and clarinet. I always played my students equipment to determine if it was them, the mouthpiece-reed or the clarinet. Once I knew I could analyze the problem better. As Hans wrote, it could be any number of things you or your equipment is causing the problem. Without seeing you I could suggest you try playing double lip, having your lip folded over your top and bottom teeth. I'm not suggesting you always play like that but it's more difficult to bite to hard or Pinch when doing that. See if you can do that and weather you're still squeaking. But the bottom line is that your teacher should be able it identify the problem after a short time.
