When I heard this, I swear I thought I saw all the brooms in my house carrying buckets of water.
I’m in band and I’m learning to play clarinet and oh boy I suck! I’m surprised you have barely 400+ subs I mean I would think you have at least like 400k!
@@sheyluh Aww, that's so kind! I've been terribly bad about posting regularly, so the channel doesn't grow much as a result. I will try to do better!
thank you
Thank you for a wonderful example to follow after. :]
Hi Christopher, if I may be so bold, I’ve just found your channel and as a player of the clarinet for a week, I have say that your presentation style is really sympathetic and reassuring, and, as a "Brit", I love your sense of humour (an indispensable trait when teaching, especially adults).
Concise, effective and easy to understand! Thank you 😊
Make your fingers visible
Does this teacher actually have any availability? So often good teachers are fully booked with long waiting lists.
Which teacher?
@@christopherbushclarinet pretty much every teacher around here.
@whoitisnot Maybe I can help you find someone. In what area do you live?
Nice
I can feel this working already, but the only problem is I have braces and actually doing double lip hurts so just be mindful of that
I'm happy it's helping! Please be patient and bite as little as possible while still keeping fast air and a good sound. It's more about your mouth shape and air speed than lip and jaw pressure. Good luck!
Ever try the 5RV ? It’s totally underrated!
I have, but it’s been many years. I'll make sure to try it again next time I go. Thanks!
From Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, fifth movement
Dies irea, funny thing, i play clarinet, my band teacher put up the scale degrees and made us play along to it. Pretty cool, i love the lower octaves.
Dies erai (no idea how to spell?)
Wonderwall
I think this is the one
True tho!
Omg thank you
grear thanks
Also filling the role of a lot of horn and sax parts in marches.
I like this exercise! A great way to work on coordinating the tongue and fingers too. Great, fun and useful video!
Can you play the clarinet solo in Inkwell Isle one from cuphead? that would be so epic
I just added it to my list, so I hope to get to it soon. Thanks for the request!
Great job! Your tone is so clean and consistent
Hello, it makes 4 months that i cannot play more than 3h weekly because of tooth pain, before that I was doing like 30h hours +, I feel like eating a glass Any advice ?
Sorry for the delayed response! It sounds like you may be biting or that you may have dental issues (or both). Please talk to your dentist. Also, I use Invisalign on my bottom teeth to help dissipate the pressure. Maybe that could be an option for you. If you are biting too much, think about reed and/or mouthpiece changes. There are so many variables...It might be easier to diagnose in a lesson, if you'd like to try that.
This may be obvious however she playing with double lip, I should be really be forcing the corners in right? I just want to make sure I fully understand something before I try it because I don’t want create or have the mindset of a bad habit, and in general I’m a newer clarinet player, I’ve only been playing for five years and I’m regretfully just now realizing the importance of embouchure so I’m trying really hard to fix my bad habits however I’m just trying to be careful to not start a new one.
I would experiment with being as relaxed as possible with your embouchure while playing double lip. Can you keep the air speed and voicing right for you while keeping your lips more relaxed? I use double lip to help me relax, although that may not be right for everyone.
@@christopherbushclarinet I’ve tried the respective technique, and I’m happy to report that I did find some success with it. However, what also ended up solving a lot of confusion for me was simply paying close attention to many great players embouchure and I noticed a few key things: the front teeth is actually placed quite high on the mouthpiece, close to the tip, which I already knew however what I didn’t realize was the bottom lip was resting significantly lower than where I placed my bottom lip so I did a little experiment: I used my pointer finger as a reed rest instead of my bottom lip and found where does the reed start to close off and when does it not and when I determined the “sweet spot”, it ended up being quite close to where the professional players placed their bottom lip. When I made this realization, it completely changed my sound. My bottom lip must have been placed too high where the reed can be closed off very easily with even the slightest pressure and my sound became both more open and rounder, and I could also hear more low overtones when playing register slurs, which I humorously at first confused it with being out of tune haha.
@oscartamez3711 Great! I love to hear that you are experimenting to find what works for you in particular. Keep it up!
Incredible musicianship!
Thank you!
Sorry I don’t understand?
The part is much easier and more simple than almost anything I play. A touch of irony.
The word articulation refers to the pattern of staccato and legate being used in a passage, all combined. But looks like the all of America has changed the meaning of the word As it meaning staccato or simply tongued. The best way to improve fast staccato is to practice fast and slow tenuto. Let it happen by itself.
Sweet~
Very good explination
Thank you!
Beautiful! Simply beautiful!❤ love the clarinet. Thank you. ❤
Glad you like it!
Fabulous !!’ 💃🏻
Thanks 🤗
Great exercise. Thanks for the reminder. It's crazy how behind the metronome you are though in many of these examples. Was that some kind of technology issue?
Wow, the video poped up while I am really struggeling with the articulation on my clarinet :O
Incredible I watched your video for this :]
😳💨
Talented clarinet player! I've always wanted to learn!
Do it!
I do this. It helps. I got it from a Perdrosaxo video. Your video is lovely, it reinforces how useful this approach is. Think targeting the last note of the 5. BUT going onto the 6th note is so difficult! Completing the scale its a torture. Any tips for that? BTW when I say I do it.... I do, but not well! Its a long game!!
Work on 6 until it is easier. Then 7. Then 8...and so on. Baby steps!
What tuner is that?
Tunable
How to hit that top C would be another video entirely. I have done it once and not sure how I did. Think I was just in the mood.
Keep at it!
if double lip is the solution...why switch to single?
I think of it more as a guide. Double lip can be very strenuous to play for very long, which is one reason so few professionals use it exclusively.
@@christopherbushclarinet Just not true. If you only use double lip as a guide you never develop that top lip the way you have the bottom lip. True double lip players often have superior endurance in my experience. It's still the method of choice in much of France. If you are truly comfortable with both you can switch back and forth and preserve your embouchure strength well past the point that your brain will be too tired to continue.
Mile in every smile, thank you
This is great, thank you!
I am happy it is useful. Thanks!
Super helpful, thank you!
i like this excercise.the sound becomes better.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for letting me know.
Do you have other videos for clarinet ?
@@stevenroosblad9813 Yes! Check out my channel. New ones are coming soon, too.
Nice tune beautifully played.
Thank you!
This sounds like an interesting exercise. Will try it tomorrow. Thanks for the video.
I hope that it was useful!
@@christopherbushclarinet very useful. Thanks. Hearing improvements.
Stumbled across this video today and will definitely be trying the exercises out. Many thanks for the enjoyable humour too.
Thank you! Please let me know if they are helpful.
👂🏼 💨 💨
Ha!
GOOD tips by the way
Thank you!
How do you like the VD BD mouthpiece? Is it the BD4 , BD5, or BD7?
I'm playing the BD5 mouthpiece. I think it's a good match for me on my Toscas right now. Good sound, articulation, and pitch.
Excellent exercises, thank you Christopher
Thank you!
