How to switch from b flat clarinet to bass clarinet?

Question

how do you change your embachure (god, I totally spelled that wrong)

I am pretty good now at b flat clarinet

Answer 1

The angle of the mouthpiece should come naturally if you hold the instrument correctly. Straight up-and-down in front of you and not slung to the side like a sax. Rely on the floor peg and not the neckstrap. If you don't use the floor peg, your right thumb will get very sore.

You'll probably want a little more mouthpiece in your mouth than you use on the soprano and you might like a weaker reed (will depend on your BC mouthpiece).

The most important thing you will need to get used to is the amount of breath support you'll need on the BC. Be sure to sit up very straight and off the back of the chair.

You won't need a significant change in embouchure for the BC, just take a touch more mouthpiece than you're used to.

Answer 2

it will be very easy. the embouchure is basically the same except for the angle of the mouthpiece. you should be able to adjust quickly. for the most part the fingerings are the same.
good luck!
