Clarinet alphabet: letter G, H, I

These tips are short, so here's three for the price of one!  

​G is for open G, one of our first notes!


H is for HAIRLINE: remember only a hairline of the mouthpiece to be seen above the reed as you look at the reed side.

I is for INSTRUCTIONS: always listen carefully to instructions from your teacher.

E is for EMBOUCHURE! This fancy French word refers to the way you hold your mouth around the mouthpiece:
1) lower lip over bottom teeth
2) firm corners of mouth
3) chin stretched downward
4) top of mouthpiece directly on upper teeth
​5) think: “whee!” then “too!”, seal mouth/lips around mouthpiece.

Be sure to keep chin flat. DO NOT puff your cheeks. Note the angle of clarinet and amount of mouthpiece in mouth as well. Questions? Ask away!
