    he sounds airy because he is sub-toning to prevent sounding too loud. the mic they use is designed probably for a small room and with his clarinet setup and the amount of air he has prepared to put through that instrument, it would distort horribly because of so much sound.

    Good reminder here. Slow, deliberate practice is much more valuable than speedy practice. I'm dealing with finding home and comfortable placement of fingers again, after semi-successful carpal tunnel surgery. More important now to feel whatever my fingers can feel to seat properly on each tone hole. Saxophone is a different story, since the pads do the hole covering for you. Thanks BMS and ED.

    He's a very good teacher. His basics of "landing", starting with playing one note, etc.....he reminds me of my first band director, who claimed that your best technique comes from "teaching your brain....which controls your fingers and the muscles in your face" how to play a note exactly right. That's a tough lesson for young kids to latch on to and believe, but it's so true.

    This is wonderful, extremely good advice. It makes terrific sense from everything that we know (certainly that even I know), from how the brain learns, from what the neuroscience of learning tells us. So to get those neurons firing with exquisite precision, while playing really fast, you need to practice, and practice and then practice some more playing beautiful sounding notes, very slowly. Then after much practice the ability to play those notes accurately comes easily.
    Eddie Daniels is not a only a World Class Performer, but a Terrific Teacher. These two talents do not usually go together. So much THANKS for both making great music and giving great advice ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
