Re: Stubborn Upper Clarion sub-tones

I forgot to add that some contributors to the BBoard have posted suggestions that are working for me.

First, I start a clarion note in the usual way, then allow the register key to close, and then play a slow scale in this way. I try it both ascending and descending, also both slurred and tongued. This forces me to maintain a good tongue position and air speed.

Second, I allow the instrument to play just the grunt with the register key open, and then I alternate on purpose between the correct note and the undertone. This gets me better acquainted with where my tongue and embouchure need to be to do it correctly.
