Re: Fingering Practice

Poor finger coverage or air flow as noted in other posts are often the culprits. Another one that can be involved is tightening the embouchure as you go up over the break. The result can be that you pinch the reed off as you make the upward slur. One way to learn to avoid this is to practice going down over the same interval, then back up. You can accomplish two things - your fingers will start out covering all the holes and provide a reference point to return to, and you will start out with an embouchure that produces a good clarion note, which you can keep stable as you go down and return up.
