Hey everyone,
I`ve been playing sax for 3 years and I just picked up a clarinet and when I blow through it, all I get is a high, squeaky sound.......... can anyone help me!!??

Hi

That`s actually quite interesting that you learned Sax first, most people learn clarinet first and then move to sax as well. It is much more difficult to learn sax first, then to try clarinet. It`s just because of the difference in mouthpiece size and embouchure. Even now, I notice that when I`ve been playing saxophone for awhile and switch to clarinet that it takes a while to switch embouchures. Just keep working on it, I`m sure you`ll get it. Just try to control your mouth a little tighter when you`re playing.

Good luck!!

Try squeezing the actual lips rather than the sides of your mouth. Sounds weird but try it.

put ur bottom lip ova ur teeth
