"I can’t tell you how amazed I was by these lessons. The most remarkable thing about them is how simple you make playing the clarinet seem! ... I’m in awe with how you’re able to explain sophisticated concepts with tremendous clarity and very concise action steps to think about. Everything you need to know about playing the clarinet is distilled in these lessons..."

What This Lesson Covers:

⭐ The Clarinet Support
• Why the clarinet’s weight can strain the right thumb
• Why neck straps aren’t ideal (C3–C5 neck strain, RSI risk, circulation issues)
• Better alternatives to support the instrument safely
• How a custom-designed clarinet support removes all weight from the thumb
• Healthy hand position tips (including placing the thumb above the rest)


⭐ Toilet Training (Condensation Care)
• Learn how to “toilet train” your clarinet to protect pads from water damage - keep water flowing safely away from tone holes
• Prevent bubbling, pad damage, and resistance
• Store/hold the clarinet so it seals well and avoids long-term pad deterioration
