 Re: Developing your embouchure

I have on occasion felt leaking air on my fingers (or cheek?, or neck? memory fails me)- and been mystified its exact source. Like a fellow trying to find a leak in a tire. I once read about putting your tire in a bathtub of water so you can look for a stream of bubbles. Sounds like a recipe for getting in trouble with the wife- tires are mighty dirty. And I don't think that would work for clarinet.

Paul's recent advice to tighten my embouchure (he endured one of my videos) has helped- at least now I know what to do when I feel one of those leaks. It amounts to tightening the drawstring. I agree that some tension is needed there (I think I was near zero), but I'm working on keeping it at a minimum.
