 Re: what does it mean to focus sound on the clarinet

To expand on Paul's not fuzzy or airy, it means more high frequency components giving the sound crispness and definition, like turning up the treble on your stereo. It's mostly achieved by the inside shape of the mouth cavity and tongue and direction and velocity of the airstream. You get there by listening and copying a focused sound, not by trying to match some description of embouchure. It's all about the feedback loop from your ears. With much trial and error, your body will do what's necessary to achieve the focused sound you hear.

You're missing the point about the stomach as well. You need a teacher soon than later since you're well on the path to failure by disregarding a lot of valuable advice and forging your own path (bad breathing technique, wrong embouchure, wrong reeds, etc.).

By the way, a beginner will not have the skills or experience to fine tune at this level for years. Any attempts for you to dial this in now are futile, unless you're some sort of genius.
