Re: Mouthpiece Only Exercises

kdk, Tom H: Thanks for sharing your thoughts! You make a good point that practising with the mouthpiece would differ significantly in terms of resistance, and it's uncertain if there would be any benefits of exercises carrying over to playing on the clarinet itself. I have read some things in the saxophone community saying that there are some benefits, and in fact they find better results for developing tone by practising on the mouthpiece alone than on the entire saxophone, for example here: https://www.bestsaxophonewebsiteever.com/a-set-of-mouthpiece-exercises-to-boost-your-tone-big-time/. Of course I'm not even sure if this is an acknowledged benefit for saxophone playing, much less whether it also applies to the clarinet.

ruben: Wonderful, I await your findings.
