In this short segment from clarinetist Michael Wayne’s Three-Dimensional Approach to Sound Production, you’ll explore one of the most overlooked factors in tone: air direction.

Michael breaks down how to locate your “efficient point of air” using a simple hand test, then demonstrates how adjusting your airflow inside the mouth instantly transforms your sound—from thin or constricted to full and resonant.

Even without your instrument, these exercises reveal how awareness of tongue placement and airflow direction can help you achieve effortless projection and control.

It’s an easy, practical way to deepen your understanding of tone — starting today.
