 Puffy cheeks
Author: Ginny

My 10 yo son just started the clarinet (just 2 weeks ago.) His cheeks look like Kirby the pillow from Nintendo. He's taking lessons, but still puffs. Any suggestions? I could just wait - He does not want mom's advice (and who does?)- but I suspect it's best to start with good technique, rather than relearning later on. A VanDoren M-13, Rico Royal 1.5, FYI.

He can play down to low F already and I've heard him play a few notes over the register. He's been playing music for seven years- that is most of his life, so...for him the main thing will be getting technique, since he counts and reads well.

Any other advice for the first few weeks of playing? Perhaps I'll have a duet partner for a while.

Thanks in advance.
