Objective: Student will show an understanding of how to place the reed on the clarinet  mouthpiece, apply the ligature appropriately and attach the mouthpiece to the barrel of the instrument.

I think the lesson I gave went well. My goal was to be simple and thorough.

The focus was to be hands on since the subject was a 6^th grader.

Focus: The reed, mouthpiece, & and the barrel.

Apply reed to mouthpiece, identify where the ligature would go and how to put it on, and the barrel.

Embouchure without mentioning it.

Downside: Kept the instrument on the lap, should have had it placed on the floor.
