Hi, I'm Chase, I've been playing clarinet for around 3 1/2 years. I've been playing on a student mouthpiece (the brand isn't even specified), and whatever messed up clarinet my school let me use. Normally, I play on Vandoren traditional 3 1/2 reeds.
My problem is, a recent change in embouchure has pretty much destroyed the strength of my embouchure. On top of that, I got, just last week, a Buffet R13, and a Vandoren M13 mouthpiece (I didn't get a say in any of it). The 3 1/2's I normally play sound too soft for it, but I don't have a strong enough embouchure for 4's at the moment. My goal is to get to a point where I can play on 4's (I don't want this equipment to go to waste, and I don't want to hurt the feelings of the person who bought it for me) by the end of this month.
All I'm asking is for tips on strengthening my embouchure in a short period of time.
P.S. I really have no idea what I'm doing xP
