Ms. Jensen works with Reese Martin, a seventh grader, on producing low notes. They explore the amount of reed in the mouth, and the pouting position of the embouchure that aid the response and tone in the low range. Sometimes Reese’s fingers do not completely cover the holes, and that causes the note to not speak. Reese discovered that using a gentle articulation and less force behind the air actually helped the response since he had been over-blowing. Closing the reed at the first wire helped the low notes respond too.
