• Embouchure: A poor embouchure causes squeaks, flat notes, or an airy tone.
• Breath control: You need deep, diaphragmatic breaths to sustain long phrases.
• Intonation: Playing in tune requires adjusting your embouchure and air speed for each note.
• Reed care: Proper storage keeps reeds playable longer.
