Beginners Question - Breathing Techniques

Author: brahma

Hello everyone.

Another beginners question I am afraid - I hope you dont mind?

I am having trouble with my breathing as there are times when I really struggle when I play. I wondered about whether there are any exercises that I can do that can help?

I have just bought a metronome - can I use this to help with my breathing? When do I know what tempo to use?

And now a daft question: are scales where you go up and dowm the notes on the clarinet and play all the notes? Or is there some structure to it? As part of my warm up, I play all the notes up and down the clarinet - is this right? My note range at the moment is only G thru to A - is there a way that I can do "scales" on these notes?

Many thanks,

Andy
