This is the music I've gotta play for mpa and all state (I'm a freshman in high-school) and this helped a lot to know the rhythms. Our band director isn't helping us much since we base 2 other bands other than the one I'm in he has teach
Hello Cally! Greetings from Estonia! I used to play the clarinet for 6 years in music school as a kid and now as an adult i've recovered the passion for music and clarinet again and your playing is really inspiring to me. Thank you for the beautiful music and lessons! Ps. What kind of equipment you use to record your playing and videos?
Hello, thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoy my channel :-) I use a little canon point-and-shoot camera that records in HD for video, and for the audio I use a Zoom H1 handy recorder. For video editing I just use iMovie... I would like to upgrade my camera and video editing program some time soon, though!
Thank you for a wonderful video. When you subdivide or even count, do you do this in your mind or do you feel it? If you subdivide in eighths, do you visualize the word "and" or what do you do exactly? Thanks,
Stephen Broll Thank you for visiting! I subdivide in my mind using "ands", but at the same time try to "feel" the big beats as part of the larger phrase so that everything flows together musically. And I use my metronome religiously. That usually works best for me; how about you?
Thanks for asking. I'm trying to better develop my internal metronome. Both my teacher and my chamber coach feel the beats in their chest. Like you I sense the beat with my mind. Where I need more work is in adagio movements and going from, say, 2/4 to a 5/8, where I'm transitioning from a quarter note beat to an eighth in a quick passage. I also am religious with my metronome, although just recently I starter thinking the beat as well as hearing it as part of developing that internal rhythm.
I'm from Kentucky and our audition music this year is No. 24. Allegro moderato beginning to the end of line 8 and No. 21. Adagio line 8 to the second measure of line 11. Could you possibly make a video of you playing these? I would love to hear you play them, also if you have any advice for the songs that would be great too. Please don't feel like you have to play these though, I totally understand if you don't have the time :3
I would love to make at least a soundcloud recording for you in the next couple of weeks. When is the audition? I also offer lessons over skype if you want to play through your audition music for me some time!
+Bubbie Blank Thanks for checking out my channel! I would like to include No. 30 somewhere in a video, but I'm not sure how soon I will be able to. How soon is the audition?
Wow, that is coming up soon! Have you checked out my video on how to improve staccato? th-cam.com/video/o1RkZRknF5E/w-d-xo.html It is a practice technique that has been passed down from Daniel Bonade's teaching (you should check out "The Clarinetist's Compendium" if you haven't already). I'll try to put No. 30 in one of my upcoming videos, but for now, I hope this helps! Happy practicing ;-)
A more appropriate comment would be "Why are your fingers so far from the keys?" In legato passages, flexing & moving your fingers slowly as if through clay or Jello will help you achieve a smoother sounding legato. Not every pedagogical method teaches this technique, but both of my college teachers suggested this technique to me and it helped my legato playing tremendously. It's a technique commonly known as "legato fingers" to keep you from "slapping" your fingers down in legato passages. I do NOT recommend it in fast passages, since you will naturally need your fingers to be close to the keys to facilitate speed. However, if you are struggling with your fingers being too far away from the keys and your teacher wants you to stop, you should absolutely do as they have instructed because they know what will work best for you and your technique. I hope that helps. Best of luck!
best lullaby ever after an over-night shift, and the old intro sounds so nostalgic.....Gees....
What a beautiful tone!!
If anything in the universe was certain, this was it.

That is so good to hear! Good luck with your audition! 🎶

The first round is in November and the second round is in December.
Cool, I'll work it into some videos in a few weeks :-)
Es de mucha ayuda ❤️
Could you please play No. 30 from the 32 etudes? It's B major Allegretto. A very difficult piece that is in our All west music for Tennessee.
+Bubbie Blank Thanks for checking out my channel! I would like to include No. 30 somewhere in a video, but I'm not sure how soon I will be able to. How soon is the audition?
Its in January so I have about a month and a half.

You lift your fingers way too far off the keys

Cally Laughlin is it the same at the saxophone?
