HEllo, I amd trying to play musically, but I find it almost impossible. No matter what I do, it sounds like honking.
I want to know:
a) how to play dynamics (this is the most important for me!!)

b) play accents (I assume it is the same as the flute: to `spit` the air into the reed)

c) how to deal with back pressure (I feel like I have tons of air, and by the time I use it up, I am dizzy from not having enough O2)

d) how to stay in tune

e) lastly: how to prevent arm injury (I lean it on a pillow on top of my dresser when I play, and I have never tried playing more than one hour at a time in band).

You can answer some or all, anything would be great.
