Re: Converting to double lip embouchure

Hi Paul,

I see what you mean. I have just been trying DL and SL and I realised that part of the reason why DL is better for me is that I have to hold the instrument much further out from my body in order for my upper lip to reach down and under my front teeth and still reach the mouthpiece. If I play SL with the clarinet held out at that same angle, I retain many of the benefits of the DL embouchure. That's very handy to have figured out. :-)

Normally I hold it SL quite close to me like Emma Johnson in this video:

But with DL I am holding it much further out like Artie Shaw in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN9xULQH2qM

Maybe I should be training my back muscles to hold the clarinet up high rather than my upper lip muscles? Or maybe the angle doesn't matter and it's just that the different angle forces me to do whatever it is that I ought to be doing when the clarinet is held closer to my body?

I'll keep experimenting.

Jen
