Hello, again! I feel I should be fair to my son's teacher. I called him yesterday to let him know about the issues about the new mouthpiece. He did say maybe we should try a softer reed. He knew about the breathing and squeek problems, but I'm not sure if he knew about the headache problem. He is in general a very nice person.

I have been thinking maybe we should change to a different teacher, but I need lots of guidance, maybe from this forum. I do not have too many choices for clarinet teachers locally. Our current teacher is the only one specializing in clarinet and teaches clarinet only. A few others are music teachers in middle/high school and teaches several woodwind instruments. They all play clarinets, but clarinet is not their strongest instruments. All teaches private lessons. I heard very good things about one of the music teachers in school. But I am concerned that he is not specialized in clarinet. Does it really matter? What should I look for when looking for a clarinet teacher? Maybe this should be posted as a separate issue.

Thanks again.
