2 Mistakes Every Adult Clarinetist Makes

[@BrianCollier]

As an adult student and psych grad, I approve of this message. This is great advice for learning in general. Experimentation is the key to being good at most things, especially art. I've been watching your videos for a few months. Good stuff!

Thank you! And I'm glad to hear that these ideas are consistent with the actually psychology of it!

Adult student here.... If I could go back in time about 3 months (when I began to learn) my advice to myself would be simple... PRACTIC as much as you can, and RELAX.

*PRACTICE

That's great! I think so much of learning to play is about getting out of our own way and just letting the instrument work. Let me know if you have any questions as you continue to progress on your clarinet journey!

Quite an interesting topic. Thanks. I didn`t thought about hyper-focusing.

I'm glad you found it helpful!

Sorry after doing all that, how should you press the reed, raise the teeth together with the lip or press the reed horizontally or vertically, how should the lip touch the reed, that's the whole problem

I think this video should help answer those questions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIGaYomFedF1f8Usi=l1itluhk7EHlxxkp
