 Re: Band Director teaching open G w/RH down

If that's his reasoning, I agree, it should wait quite a while before teaching right hand down on open G. *Sigh* The joys of having a non-clarinet band director teaching clarinet. One of my old students had a band director whose major instrument was trumpet. He told all of his clarinet sections that to play in tune they needed to adjust their embouchure or tighten/drop their jaw, because if they pulled out the barrel then that would ruin the tone of the clarinet. Yikes...Of course it turned out to be a good teaching moment in our lesson on how to produce good tone and how to tune and why a Bb clarinet is called just that. Her teacher supposedly got a surprise the next day when she pulled her barrel out a bit and played in tune and with good tone before the band even tuned. But I suppose we must forgive band directors who weren't taught how to properly play other instruments or those that do not regularly practice instruments other than their own...
