My sister passed 2 years ago and I have her clarinet. Just opened it today and brought back memories when I used to play in grade school. Thanks for this detailed video so I can learn how to play again❤
I learned how to play saxophone. Many years ago from a guy who was in the New York musicians Union, and he played with Benny Goodman. Sammy Kay k the Dorsey brothers and Glenn Miller like he played with all the big bands.. He told me to attach my read. The same as you said to attach your read like a fingernail distance from the top of the mouthpiece. After being in the Marine Corps and going to college. Get in a real job. I finally decided to start playing again. So I started taking lessons and the few teachers that I had told me. I was putting the read on wrong. I started to think I was getting false memories. Thank you.
I'm not playing the clarinet, I do not even intend to. I came to search for a C note on the clarinet and I stayed for the whole video. I loved the way she introduced the instrument, did not cut off the parts she was looking at her notes. It was so pure almost touching to see her devotion.
I'm a grade 7 pianist and have desperately wanted to learn a second instrument. The piano is getting too simple for me, as fun as it is, and although I wanted my second instrument to be the oboe at first I've decided on clarinet. This has given me a lot of understanding - thank you so much!
@@orbstars2 you’re talking absolute shit, you ave the absolute wrong attitude for music!!! If you’re thinking “ the piano is too simple” then you should be able to play anything, why aren’t you on stage with stevie wonder?
Thanks for the video and tips. I've started trying to teach myself how to play the clarinet because I miss playing a musical instrument and nostalgia from my band years. Played trombone then switched to tuba during high school. You're video has given me some great instruction and a few tid bits that are interesting. I haven't played for some years or a woodwind at all and the embouchures for mouthpiece instruments are different than wood winds. Its a challenge but within time I'll learn.
Very fun that you did that for another purpose but is still so useful 9 years later. Thank you! That intelligent perspective from someone early in their development -- before forgetting what it used to be like -- is VERY helpful! Kudos!
Thank You for this video. Graduated many years ago and our High School Alumni have been asked to participate in a fundraiser for our community (we had the most amazing Band Director so when he asked and it's for my hometown I couldn't say no). I've got a month to get 2 songs down. This is definitely refreshing my memory. This is an older video and I hope you have continued with your love of music. You would make an amazing Band Director.
I’ve been playing brass instruments (mainly french horn) for over 6 years now, and have acquired an old clarinet from a family member. Think it’ll be interesting to challenge myself and attempt learning an instrument where I can’t just translate my skills to a different sized mouthpiece. Quick note: I’m being picky here but many brass instruments also have their music notated in treble clef, including French Horn and Trumpet. Bass Clef is typically reserved for instruments like Euphonium and Trombone.
Im in 7th grade now and I just got my first clarinet from playing the piano. Thanks so much, you helped me so much!!! This definitely surprised my parents because I just played C to the other C on the clarinet after getting my clarinet.
Don’t bite on it. Just let it stay there and if your tonguing the reed, just gently touch it with the tip of your tongue. It won’t break unless you force it to break!
I have wanted to join band, and decided to finally do it. I decided on the clarinet and am studying for rehearsals to get in, and this video helped me tons!
This videos awesome. I recently switched schools and I went from a school with nothing but ukuleles and recorders to a school with clarinets, tubas, guitars, electric guitars, everything 😂 I chose to play the clarinet and have absolutely noo experience, and this helped 😜
Thank you for this, helped me understand the clarinet alot more, I'm a freshman trombone who is learning different instruments. I can play the clarinet down to A flat but that's about it.
Thanks for this. I may be encouraged to get the clarinet out, but they sure have a lot of buttons compared to saxophones, and different notes in the octaves... This is a thorough explanation for we novices and a good place to start.
@@Elyricai i didnt I was going to comment that she could have bent her piece when she was putting her middle piece with the other piece but it was going to take to long so I didn't she mest up on a lot of things but other than that it wasn't a goodvideo
Thanks Victoria just beginning and your tutorial is excellent - you cover a lot ... waiting for my Buffet B12 to arrive in the post... can't wait to get started - looking for good tutorials - complete novice. 69 year old retiree in England
thanks for making this video. i’m in color guard, and my band director recruited me to play clarinet in concert band because we need clarinetists. needless to say, i have been completely lost.
I love u!!! Thanks for this video!! Its really helpful, you talk about all things clearly so I can understand it all Im starting my learning tomorrow (without a teacher) 💕💓❤🙌
I found a liquor store and I drank it Aw i actually played in 5th grade too! Happy to hear that you’re getting back into it. I’m really tempted in buying one again.
This video is going to help me so much because next year I’m going into 6th grade and I wanna play clarinet after playing percussion this year and my band teacher told me to watch videos so I can start in advanced so this helps!!! 😊
This is extremely helpful! I play the alto sax and the keyboard. My new clarinet is arriving soon, and this helped me understand the instrument so much better! Thank you!
i am starting to play the clarinet next year in 5th grade, and this video was so much help. My mom played but it was so long ago she can't remember how to play so he told me to watch a video and it helped.
I like looking through comments and finding comments saying “I’m learning clarinet in 7th grade” and stuff, and I like them because some comments are 5-6 years ago and I think how many accomplishments might have happened in those years
Hey ok u are a life saver cause i had band test and i wanted to play clarinet and the test was on mouthpieces so I searched that up and then I made a b on my test thank you so much I literally passed I get to do band next year
Don't forget to grease your corks! The pieces should go on without having squeeze the keys which can cause them to break.
Yeah thanks I almost forgot I said 3 days ago 💀
I KNOW RIGHT-
Ya
@@gxxnie Enough so that it's easy to put together.
@@whiteout.miyoko9747 si
Thanks. Age 60, bought clarinet and your video was a great help getting me started.

I don’t know why I’m watching this video when Ive been playing clarinet for 4 years 😂
Facts

@@lilysmith2072 ummm.. i don't think that's possible
sorry but your comment "the piano is getting too simple for me" rubbed me the wrong way, do you play classical music?
@@2noodles525 that's right?
@@2noodles525 i simply mean that im someone who likes a challenge and piano is becoming less of a challenge for me

Does Squidward play a wood clarinet or a plastic clarinet
Fun and Games I think he plays a fake clarinet XD (not wood or plastic)
The Gaming Vault pixel lol but it is designed as a wood one
wood clarinet wood float
Squidward plays the Buffet E-11 indoors, and an old Vito for marching band
The Gaming Vault plastic
I’m currently 34 and only grew up playing the flute my whole life but now i wanna branch out and learn to play the clarinet..

Switching over from tenor saxophone to clarinet, a few similarities but the extra keys are really throwing me off. This video helped me so much!
Great explanation . You are an excellent teacher!!!!! Bravo

It is not quite spit inside, it is mostly humidity of exhaled air, condensing inside, turning into water drops

Great simple, but thorough beginner lesson.Thank you!
Thank you! I have tryouts for this because I wanted to switch my band instrument, this helped so much!

Ciara Helton because u didn't play it right

Dude whenever I have the reed in my mouth I’m so scared of breaking the thin part
Same
Don’t bite on it. Just let it stay there and if your tonguing the reed, just gently touch it with the tip of your tongue. It won’t break unless you force it to break!
DUDE I agree even though I play sax, you can use the same reed. BTW I'm in 5th grade and started sax like one month ago.
@@alayna5696 thank you for outing less pressure on me of breaking my reed I'm about to practice right now!
