AS 603 : Hand & Head Position Sep 20, 2021

Show notes

In this episode we talk about checkpoints we should all be watching for not only in our beginner classes but with our advanced kids as well.

In this episode we talk about a bass clarinet neck you can buy to recreate the angle of a regular clarinet on the bass. The one we referenced is called the Charles Bay neck. A quick search on Google tells me they are not as easy to come by as they were 10 years ago, but I also found there are a number of alternative necks available that mean the similar goal.
