 Re: How to reach altissimo D without cracking?

Glad it works.

Two exercise that will reinforce the "stable embouchure" idea:

1. Play up from the lowest notes on the clarinet chromatically from low E to first space F, opening the register key to get the higher 12th with each note, but with no change in the embouchure.

2. Play the G just above the top line of the staff. When it's stable, take the first finger LH off, giving you the altissimo E. When that's stable, press the C# key on the second joint with the right hand pinkie, which will give you high A.

Note, though, that if you can't get the high A, but your embouchure is steady and your breath supported, it may be that your reed is unbalanced.

Also, it's helpful to watch yourself in the mirror while you do these.

B.
