Re: Embouchure and leaking air

I do not use the smile, but I have trained the corners of my mouth to remain firm (as if they were concentrating and moving away from my face into space...) and I believe ultimately that the same principles are being used.

I also used to have a leak in my embouchure. It is possible to train it out of your playing! Thinking logically, your tongue needs all the air leaving your body to do it's job well. Your sound needs all the air to go into the clarinet...you honestly can't afford to waste any of it!

Is the leak in the corner of your mouth, or the point at which your lips meet the mouthpiece?
