 Re: keeping fingers moving exactly in time

I believe the proper way to breathe on the clarinet is the proper way for humans to breathe. It developed when people were 'chasing dinosaurs' all day long looking for food. Today in our newly 'advanced' way to get food, humans get along breathing minimally most of the time. I have a student who became principal clarinet in the Mexico Symphony. They were scheduled to play high in the mountains, so the people in charge sent the wind players a few days early to get acclimated. At the performance the string players were fainting while there was no problem breathing the thin air for the winds. About 15 years ago My wife and I were in Germany and visited Richard Strauss's home. Zugspitze, Germany’s highest peak at 9,000 feet, was in view so we decided to take a train and cable-car up there. There were a couple dozen steps to the top of a viewing tower so we walked up. Every few steps my wife had to stop and 'catch her breath' while I scampered up and down to help her - no problem.
