I really shouldn’t say this, but I didn’t have high hopes for Drew playing the clarinet.  When he came home and said he thought he had made a mistake choosing to play the clarinet because he didn’t “have enough breath” that was my first clue!  You can see what I mean right here in this video clip I took of him at home practicing…

They had their first concert at school and played again in the evening for parents and guests.His breath must be flowing a little better because he’s actually pretty good!  Way to persevere Drewy!Check out his face…he looks like he’s going to combust at any moment.  His face was so red!Are there exercises for strengthening your breath?  I think you’ve got this Drew…keep up the great work!
