Hi,
I just figured out another thing, and I wondered if I could ask for thoughts on it?
I am rubbish at tonguing with single lip embouchure, but with double lip it just seems to work automatically. I mentioned to my teacher, and thinking about it, we realised that it is because I hold my head at a completely different angle relative to the clarinet when using double lip, because I have to lower my head to get my lip to reach under my top teeth. The different angle means that the tip of my tongue naturally coincides with the tip of the reed in double lip, whereas in single lip, the tip of my tongue sits nearly 1cm down the reed, and so I tongue the whole top cm of the reed.
My teacher suggested that I should try doing double lip and then just slip my upper lip out from under my upper teeth to be doing single lip, but otherwise keep everything the same, and I found that my good tonguing stays if I do that.
However, the knock-on effect of that new scheme is that when I lift my head up to comfortable angle when playing standing up, the clarinet sticks out much further in front.
I have attached two photos so you can see the angle.
I just wondered which you think is the better or more normal angle? The tone and projection is wonderful if I hold the instrument out like that, but it is also very heavy on my back, which might not be good. Also the angle of my fingers changes radically on the keys so I would have to rework all of that.
I'd be really glad to know what you think.
Best wishes,
Jen
