I was wondering if anyone had any pearls of wisdom:
I teach a child who's overall pitch on the clarinet is so flat! (I've tried her clarinet/set-up and it's definitely her, not the instrument).
Predictably, it gets worse as she gets higer in pitch. I have tried everything I possibly can over the last few months to correct this, emouchure, diaphragm, support, tongue position, throat - feel like I'm running out of ideas.....
I was hoping somone might have some good ideas of resolving this in children (she's 10) - sometimes think it's difficult for them to understand technical concepts, so ideas of how to explain/change things would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
