@LoneWolf1327 Try bringing your jaw forward to were your bottom teeth are in line with your upper teeth. This will slightly change the angle you hold your clarinet. When you practice, before bringing the clarinet to your mouth say "ee" or "she" and while saying "ee" also say "oow" like in shoe. While saying those syllables push your jaw forward. Remember to keep corners in (no smiling) and chin muscles flat pointing downward. I hope this helps! Keep Practicing!!!

Air support is something that you'll always be working on.

@ghurley42

Not sure what kind of wisp you're talking about but it can be a subtone that you're hearing before the actual note is coming out /it can be caused by finger and tongue not coordinating/not enough air support/saliva that's accumulated in there. If it's subtones, you need to work on your embouchure; if it's a coordination problem, just practice slowly; if it's just saliva, it happens to everyone just suck your mouthpiece(literally)/developi­ng an emb will fix it.
