Unkink Your Hose!

Originally published on the ClarinetMike Blog here.

A few years ago, the city of Hurst, Texas sent out some nice folks to put down new grass in my lawn where they had previously dug it up to fix a water line. As I got out the ClarinetMike Garden Hose to water the new grass in my lawn, I noticed a kink in the hose. So I made sure all the kinks and such were out of the hose and watered my lawn.

I realized this is similar to clarinet playing (and ALL wind instruments!). We need to make sure our air flows freely without any tension or “kinks” in our body.
