I am often asked questions about various aspects of clarinet technique on my YouTube channel, and this page will address such enquiries. For any question you may have about clarinet playing, please email me on kathleenwilliams76@bigpond.com and I will attempt to answer each question to the best of my clarinet playing ability.
Without question the most important aspect of clarinet playing is that of breathing and tone. I have a ten part series entitled Breathing, tone legato and how to make the clarinet 'sing'. Please refer to the below link to YouTube first, and then email me if you have further questions.
Just as important as tone is how to set up your embouchure. Please refer to the following video, and email me if you have further questions.
Once you have a stable embouchure, you want to work on your articulation, please see my two part series on staccato.
I have since revised my views on staccato practice in the following video
Then you will want to work on your scales, my three part series
Then there are these three videos illustrating why you should practice your scales...
