EPISODE 05  SHOW NOTES

This episode of the Crossing The Break podcast covers the following aspects of teaching clarinet:

  • Internal symptoms that can cause students to be flat on mouthpiece and barrel
  • Words to say and things to try to help them fix it

Free download of all outline notes for the entire 20 episodes (click here to ‘enroll’ in the free course which basically just allows you to download the full packet of Outline Notes. I hope to add more pictures/videos to this course at a later time, but for now it allows you to download all 20 episodes at once.)

Wiggle Check
We were focused on the wiggle check here and the chin is not flat enough. But this is how I do wiggle checks.
