7 Clarinet Embouchure Checklist Is my bottom lip over my bottom teeth? Is my chin flat? Are my top teeth firmly clicked on the top of the mouthpiece? Are my lips covering my teeth? Are the corners of my mouth pushed inard? Are my cheeks snug against my teeth? Do I have enough mouthpiece/reed in my mouth? If my teacher came around and tried to move my barrel, could she make it move?

8 Clarinet Assembly Checklist Assemble the clarinet from the bottom to the top, starting ith the bell When putting the clarinet together, use a GENTLE tisting motion NEVER shove or force the pieces together If you are having trouble tisting the pieces together, rub cork grease gently into the cork; make sure to ipe off the excess grease before putting the pieces together again When putting the upper joint onto the loer joint, gently press don the ring keys on the upper joint ith the left hand so that you don t bend the bridge Make sure that the bridge (the little ings) is aligned; tiny tists here Line up the mouthpiece so that the hole is in line ith the thumb key (register key) Put the ligature on BEFORE the reed to avoid chipping the tip of the reed. Remember, the scres of the ligature are on the right Slide the reed under the ligature onto the mouthpiece, making sure that the tip of the reed is even ith the tip of the mouthpiece (tip to tip) and that you have the flat side of the reed touching the flat side of the mouthpiece (flat to flat) Make sure that the top of the ligature is belo the line on the reed Check your reed alignment on the mouthpiece Carefully tighten the ligature scres; they should be just tight enough to hold the reed on firmly; do NOT over-tighten When not playing, be sure to use your mouthpiece cap to protect your reed You re ready to play
