 Re: question about intonation

Don't play softly by merely decreasing your breathing--you don't blow hard for "loud" and not-so-hard for "soft". Your breath still has to be intense, yet supported, when you play softly.

I go flat, too, whenever I don't blow as hard. I find it helps to focus on directing the stream of air through the reed. I zero in on the reed opening in my mind. That helps me to focus on keeping it an intense and supported stream of air.
