7 BIGGEST Clarinet Embouchure Problems and How to Fix them | PLUS Tomplay App Promo Link! 

This is a great video! I’m a section leader for my high school band, so I will definitely be referencing back to this video. Thank you!

Just picked up the clarinet a few weeks ago. I love it and wanna sound as good as you!

Beautifully played!! I may try to play along at a greatly reduced speed ; D Thanks for the tips!

I’m 47 y/o and started to play clarinet one week ago. This is gold!

I noticed the air bubbles but i have an overbite my top frount teeth stick out a little i just got my clarinet today but im getting sound just tough getting high notes

Just wanted to say thanks for pointing me to Tomplay last year! I LOVE it. I'm more into jazz and some of the old standards think "Moon River and Fly Me to the Moon". I got my year of Tomplay at 40% off last Thanksgiving Black Friday special. I'm hoping to renew the same time for a similar discount this year. Fingers crossed!

hello! I really liked the video, my clarinet sounds really airy (idk if is how you call it) and makes it sounds kinda nhe yk I don't know if the problems is my embouchure, my reed or my clarinet :(

i was tryna search for tips for embouchure. started to lose hope of finding a video and decided i should just find it myself smhow, but then this video came onto the home page... the checklist smhow helped a lot, my range just got a bit higher with greater tone cuz of this. Feels nice to actually play half decent. Thanks~^^ but how do i firm my top lips? I keep ending up biting a tiny bit when playing altissimo

A bottom lip pout works for me because I have big lips haha

Just starting clarinet after only playing for my school techniques classes. 🙈 I want to help my middle school students be better so I need to start up again 🙂

Hi Cally. Which piece is this on Tom Play? I am trying to find it and can't seem to find it. I purchased Tom Play on your last promotional and am really enjoying it! Thank you for all you do!

My biggest mistake -i used to put to much bottom lip in my mouth all the time. Any chance it’s too dangerous for health cause of constant pressure of teeth on lips?

So im out of practice. Got a clarinet from the VA a few years ago. Started practicing again because it soothes my mind. Im missing my top teeth and im having a hard time getting upper octave and keeping in tune. Is there anyway other than dentures I can improve?

The embouchure checklist presented here will tend to produce tension in the throat and limit the flexibility of your sound. I suggest studying with someone who can either teach you double-lip embouchure or Joe Allard's method for single-lip embouchure, which can produce results similar to double-lip embouchure if you learn it properly, for which you really need a teacher who has either studied with Allard or studied with one of his students. With the Allard embouchure, the only tension in the embouchure is the lower lip, which serves as a flat platform for the read. The corners of the embouchure are not brought in and the lips do not curl around the mouthpiece. The upper lip is quite limp. With double-lip embouchure there is a bit of tension in the upper lip, but it is really quite modest.

I was having a bad day til I watched this video, btw, I’m a strawberry chin, I’ll work on that.

Omg thank you so much for this video. I love you

Thanks a lot. I have a chalumeau C from Thomann. What notes should I choose from Tomplay, what instrument?

Nice tips. The last tip I did not understand. Align your teeth like how? Put your lower teeth more down on the reed?

How come nobody tries the embrouchere with the mouthpiece turned around?

Hello im in 8th grade preparing for midwest and i wanted to know why i have to pull out my barrell so much because in super sharp.

and also…i have a VERY big sound and my band director decided to make me go from 3 to a 3.5 v12 and i dont know if that’s good

Can the backing tracks be downloaded after purchasing to music?

You'r a good player, but allow me just a little suggestion, try to control more your eyes while playing.
