 Pain on lower teeth
Author: Georg

It's a newbie question :

I'm reading in some forums about don't bite the reed, don't force the jaw, etc. but I'm not sure about how much one shouldn't bite or press the reed with the jaw. I feel some pain in my lower teeth, and my lower lip dont hurt, but get marked quite deeply by the teeth. I noticed that I use some force to get the high pitches with correct intonation.

Is it a sign that WITH SURE I'm playing incorrectly ?

How can I play higher notes (from C in the stave) with correct intonation ? They all sound very flat.

My teacher just says "press the mouth, press the mouth" when I play flatted notes.

Very Thanks All.
Georg
