Great instruction style Cassie.

Thank you! Not sure I can help much with clarinet left hand issues!

[@alishamarshall8411]

Very helpful tips! I am placing my fingers on the tips. I struggle with finger placement and playing in tune. Do you have any videos that help with that?

[@stringswithdrsulbaran]

That's half the battle! Are you practicing with a tuner or a drone? Are you singing the pitch before playing it? These tools will also greatly help improve your intonation. Lastly, if you are using the tuner make sure if the note is incorrect you don't go "fishing" for it- take note of whether it's too high or low, lift it up and make the adjustment, then reset it.

@@stringswithdrsulbaran I’m practicing with a tuner. I will try singing the note before playing it. And I will make note of the incorrect note rather than fish for it. Thanks.
