Hi,
Thank you for all these thoughts. It's really so helpful to have these different viewpoints to consider.
SecondTry - Thanks so much for explaining all that. I tried just now having the mouth piece further in, and I then didn't seem to need to move my jaw to reach the mouthpiece any more, which was a really interesting change. I've been doing a lot of experimentation with single/double lip embouchure, and have reached a half way house, where I do single lip, but keep my rubber band tight right round the mouthpiece, so it is almost like double lip. I am keeping trying to develop the muscles to get more and more in that direction.
Paul - I completely get what you mean about the air, and trying to develop that. It is the area where I think I am struggling most, as I literally cannot blow up a balloon the old fashioned way. My hope in learning to play the clarinet is that my air strength will keep improving and improving. I used to always breath with my chest, but now I always naturally diaphragm breathe, which is a huge change, and I'm really chuffed about that. I will keep thinking about that, and look for the sensation of the clarinet vibrating as a sign of improvement.
Cigleris and Seabreeze, thanks for the ideas of who else to listen to. I will enjoy that very much.
I just did another test in a big room, with proper distance, and the zoom setting changed after reading the manual. The Powershot camera is still clearly better and gives me really useful visual feedback on my teachnique (and posture and dress sense - oh dear) so I will stick with that. I think it will do me a lot of good to see what my teacher sees, and to be able to act on it. :-)
On of things I notice most in the video is that I really need to relax and enjoy the music and just sometimes just make the mistakes. I hadn't realised that. No point playing note-perfect music if it sounds tense and rubbish. LOL!
Thanks!
Jennifer
