 Too much saliva?
Author: just_duckie

I have an intermediate student (3rd year) who gets too much saliva in his reed about every 4-8 measures (I am not exaggerating). He sucks it out, starts playing again, and has to stop to suck it out within just a few measures.

He is a talented musician, and when he was a beginner, I thought he would grow out of this problem as his playing matured. But it is not the case, and he is unable to achieve a beautiful tone and continuity of performance because of the constant gurgling/rattling.

Any suggestions? I am out of ideas.
