Re: Stand Up, Sit Down, Touch Your Toes

Hmmm- haven't mentioned it much (or at all?) because I just don't think about it, but I always practice standing. When I restarted clarinet in 2010 and resolved to play about an hour a day, 5 to 7 days per week, was about the same time I saw studies claiming that "standing desks" were more healthy than sitting. And since I already sit at a desk way too much, I chose to make clarinet practice a standing activity. I can play fine sitting, but standing feels more natural to me now.

Those health benefits are subject to some dispute now. That's how it always goes.
