Re: New mouthpiece, sore teeth

I have a teacher, and have seen her 3-4 times so far. She's been a great help in getting me quickly up to speed and giving me directions as to what to practice on. She didn't focus too much on embouchure, although we discussed it a bit, along with brief mention about the diaphragm etc. She did listen to me playing of course. I am sure she would have noticed and corrected me if I had done something terribly wrong, e.g. looking down and not looking straight.

I'm going to see the teacher again tomorrow.

I got this new clarinet / mouthpiece after my last meeting with the teacher, so she hasn't seen it / known about this problem yet.

I am currently reading Tom Ridenour's book called The Educator's Guide to the Clarinet. It seems to be very thorough although I am still reading about the breathing and haven't yet gotten to the embouchure part. This book might explain it in great detail too.
