B. Roke,
About squeakings. Until I got lessons I never understood why and how I was squeaking.
I have had lessons for about 4 years now and am up to 6th Grade and very rarely squeak unless I'm really tired or I'm performing and super nervous and haven't warmed up properly!
It will pass and then you'll be like, whatever happend to my squeaks?? They're virtually gone!
But then, you'll be so busy working on other things like getting over the break smoothly, lightening up your tonguing, building up your speed etc.
Re avoiding squeaking: warm up well before public performance to help nerves, prepare well first of course. Also, I was taught to think of having an 'opening throat' or room enough for an orange in my throat and this mental image helped me find it.
