Re: Right Thumb, Under-utilized?

The way I think the right thumb is often under utilized is that we soprano clarinetists, double and single lip, fail to continuously push the clarinet up against our upper teeth or into the double lip embouchure. It is difficult to do while you’re moving your fingers around, but I believe it is really important. Let it go for a moment and gravity takes advantage of the opportunity to spoil what you’re playing.
