I'm about half way through my fifth month of learning to play the soprano sax. I've discovered many sounds that I think the instrument isn't supposed to make.
As someone who plays oboe and clarinet everyone get confused between the mouthpieces because the instruments are built the same but the mouthpieces are what make them different instruments and it’s so frustrating to see someone that doesn’t know the difference
The flute beatboxing sounded like boomwackers to me too, but it's been so long since I've heard a boomwacker, I think I've just forgotten what they sound like.
We only have one bassoonist in my band and my favorite part of rehearsal is right at the beginning when she tests her reed. It’s my favorite sound in the world 😂
As a clarinetist, another weird(but fun) sound it can make is if you take the mouthpiece and barrel off(as one), start blowing then change the tightness of your mouth, it can make a very fun noise
I remember in high school we had a song with multiphonics in it from sax and clarinet. It was one of my favorite songs I've ever been a part of. Especially with all the weird percussion sounds and flutter tongue from trumpet.
I’m not a winds player… I’m a string player. And let me tell you, the violin can make some… horrific screeches. Just put the bow behind the bridge and you’ve got an angry demon from hell screeching.
Personally, I like to use the flute mouthpiece and either stick my finger in the end and make it a slide whistle; or use the mouthpiece and rapidly cover and uncover the end to make rainforest noises
The bassoon one is very relatable. But it can sound much weirder especially if you are trying to switch octaves😂Think like a clarinet squeak but not as high pitched (it’s kinda hard to describe). I had to learn the clarinet for marching season but the bassoon will always be my favorite😂
Omg the sax slap tongues!!!! My section leader does that all the time! He’s tried to teach us but I can’t figure it out 😅 Man I love him so much but he’s a senior and is gonna be gone next year 😭😭😭
Clarinet player here. There’s so many sounds I’ve gotten out of my instrument. For example, if you take the bell and hit the larger end flat on your palm, it makes almost a water drop noise. You can also play with just the reed, mouthpiece, and barrel and place your hand on the open bottom of the barrel and move it back and forth to get a weird screeching sorta sound( if that makes sense). You could also just take the reed, mouthpiece, and barrel and play it by sticking your finger through the bottom. The higher or lower your finger is the different notes it makes. Wiggling said finger makes a fun sound with quick alternating notes, kinda like a extremely high pitch, out of tune trill. If anyone wants to try these go for it. Hope this made sense.
In one of my bands we had a section in a piece of music that on the clarinet part was labeled "babies". We were instructed to play on just the mouthpiece and barrel but ALSO were given specific notes to go between. The day we sight read the piece as an ensemble it caused the entire band to fall apart because no one was expecting it. And yeah, rehearsals for that section were fun 😁

I’ve been playing the alto sax for three years
just tell people you’re learning the altissimo register lmao
@@zanybandyt7774 Lol. Never thought of that.
@@elicarlson7682 I've been playing for 2 months
LMAOOOOO, I FEEL YOUUU
I get it now. Squidward wasn’t a bad clarinetist. He was a multiphonic specialist. What’s a genius.
thats the oboe bro
As someone who plays oboe and clarinet everyone get confused between the mouthpieces because the instruments are built the same but the mouthpieces are what make them different instruments and it’s so frustrating to see someone that doesn’t know the difference
Idk you tell me
@@kermitfroggyyyyeven then the main instruments are very different
My friend who plays TUBA thought my other friends Oboe was a clarinet, which I play. I made a poster board on the differences I was so mad lol
as a bassoonist, that last one resonated so deeply with me
If you wanna play a funny bassoon sound, play a low f and hold down the Bb key. Thank me later.
Dude, trying to use trill keys but on wrong notes like shifts you up an octave
Relatable to how mid the instrument is
@@johnnyhotbody1155 iT's An InTeReStInG iNsTrUmEnT gUyS i SwEaR
same bro have you tried sucking in with the reed to it sounds so wacky 💀
The flautist isn’t making weird sounds. He’s just warming up to play some Jethro Tull.
Was about to comment this! :)
I was about to say the same thing.
Ian Anderson wants to join the conversation........
@@Troublemaker1022-r9cyour name should be changed to Treblemaker1022-r9c
There's also flutescream, which is both a weird technique and a Decepticon.
You mean jet whistles?
It's only bad when your at a contest and you "squeak" on a flute
I’ll keep these two suggestions in mind for next time. We can do it all here at the US Army Field Band
@@asherkat5853 and when you’re playing piccolo and you squeak is the worst
Let's not forget the joy of singing while playing😊
As a flute player, can confirm it’s one of my favorite things to do
Same here!!!!
Agreed here mate
I must be the only one who doesn't like it.
That slap tongue sounds like a boomwacker
Why does it actually?
omg that just brought back elementary school memories
The flute beatboxing sounded like boomwackers to me too, but it's been so long since I've heard a boomwacker, I think I've just forgotten what they sound like.
@@grantm.9109 no the flute kind of sounded like one too
@@grantm.9109 i know exactly what you're talking about, sounds just like it. The flute sounds like it too
When the weird band kids evolve.
As a bassoonist, I can make several noises using just the reed. It doesn't always need to be used as the world's most difficult kazoo.
My favorite is to do duck calls
my favorite is to do the phantom of the opera but with my reed or duck calls
I thought you said you were tired of hearing beautiful woodwind sounds. To me it's music to my ears.
the clarinetist 🫥
What about hik
Fr 😂😂 goofy ass grin lmao he's funny
bro got the sussy smile
how iPhone users feel after typing a rectangle after every sentence
@@dunkleosteusterrelli good one! Haha
Yes, clarinets squeaking every five minutes is beautiful. Definitely.
beautiful if it's a jazz piece. Ooo!
Oh shut up, clarinet is a beautiful instrument when played correctly.
bro relate
@@Chem-Chem honestly we get so much hate for no reason
@@Lux.ury01 Ikr
bassoons can do multiphonics too! wouldn’t it be cool to hear an oboe + bassoon multiphonic duet?
Woooaah! *Yes!*
I think almost every woodwind can do a multiphonic, right?
@All-ze9cl Brass can, too
I bet it’ll sound cool with English horn since it can also!
i can do it too on my tenor saxophone lol ik its a double reed thing but somehow mine does it🤷🏼♀️
When you become a pro musician in the military but still maintain your band kid energy
MULTIPHONICS IS THE WORST THING EVER WHEN IM JUST TRYING TO PLAY MY MUSIC
except for when you wanna be annoying
@@samueljsamuel_ or when you’re James Morrison the horn player
I learned how to do it on my sax and it sounds like a firetruck
Be glad you're not a string player
Also, like the bassoon, the oboe reed is a pretty annoying sound if you make it screech lol
You know about the ‘ ‘ Light saber ‘ ‘ Note on clarinet? Just amazing.
I wasn’t expecting the last part, as a bassoonist it made me laugh my ass off ahahaha
The guy doing the clarinet trimbal trills looks like he would do clarinet trimbal trills.
Idk how to explain but he looks so perfect for the sound lol
As a drummer I got a fight or flight response when I heard a rhythmic “Mary had a little lamb”
The faces are what make this glorious
I love how Todd from Breaking Bad is just chilling in the background at the end
The look of ABSOLUTE “IM DONE” on the Bassoonist’s face when he has to play that, lol. I think every musician in the world can relate to him.😂
That clarinet player is a hoot!
Omg, bassoon! I loved playing the bassoon
We only have one bassoonist in my band and my favorite part of rehearsal is right at the beginning when she tests her reed. It’s my favorite sound in the world 😂
I am that one person who tests my reed
These are just as beautiful! Well, most of them.
The bassoon was hilarious when you added the huge frown emoji 😂
Bravo flute !!! Saludos desde Córdoba, Argentina !!
Definitely beatboxed with my flute more than once-
The flute one is a good chunk of how Jethro Tull's "Bourrée" flute sections are played
The clarinet sounds more like a tropical bird! 🦜
😂
This is my band on a daily when we have the chance not to play music but just play
The Clarinet is just 🤣
I don't care what anyone says, that flute beatbox was actually really good!
Haven’t played a saxophone in years. The tongue slap gave a good jab of nostalgia. 😌
The beatboxing flute is the best one honestly
Glad the bassoon wasn’t just a clip of them ordinarily playing
As a clarinetist, another weird(but fun) sound it can make is if you take the mouthpiece and barrel off(as one), start blowing then change the tightness of your mouth, it can make a very fun noise
So if I combine 2 things I love, beatboxing and flute, I get a sound like that. Neat!
as an alto sax player, i knew about slap tongue. as an even more experienced clarinet player, the timbral trills scared me, yet i am intrigued.
I remember in high school we had a song with multiphonics in it from sax and clarinet. It was one of my favorite songs I've ever been a part of. Especially with all the weird percussion sounds and flutter tongue from trumpet.
What's flutter tongue and how do you do it? As a trumpet I need to find out
@@randomanimatorandgamer9392 I played flute. I'm sorry I can't help
@GalaxyPrincessK ah I see, it's all good lmao
The clarinetist looking devious as ever
As a bassoon player, the most we can do is aggressively crack a note. Specifically G flat..lol
As a bassoonist the coolest and weirdest is the lowest note it’s so cool! It sounds like a fog horn and it’s so deep, dark, and mysterious 😂
Yessss me and my friends always compare to a boat horn and I love it so much😂
I’m not a winds player… I’m a string player. And let me tell you, the violin can make some… horrific screeches. Just put the bow behind the bridge and you’ve got an angry demon from hell screeching.
that smile from that clarinet player was devious
as a clarinet player.. i was totally expecting the clarinet to use the “laughing technique”! where the clarinet sounds like its laughing
Lol can relate, also a clarinet player
What’s that?
As an oboe player, I did the multiphonics sound once and a flute in front of me said "I didnt know a car could fit on the stage" 💀
As a flutist myself, I have used the flute beatboxing many times. Aswell as the famous "flute slide whistle"
Yes to the headjoint slide whistle. I’ve also got a glissando headjoint, but we went with beatboxing this time around
As a flutist, I love destroying everyone's ears with my beatboxing
I got requests to play Seven Nation Army on my bassoon Reed.
Best minutes spent of my life.
Personally, I like to use the flute mouthpiece and either stick my finger in the end and make it a slide whistle; or use the mouthpiece and rapidly cover and uncover the end to make rainforest noises
The oboe multiphonics sound like the school fire alarm
as a flute player i need to try this
As someone who owns/plays many types of woodwinds, I really liked this!
tell the sax player to play the home depot theme and my life will be complete
𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑏𝑜𝑥𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑝𝑜𝑡 𝑜𝑛! ❤❤
“Tired of hearing beautiful sounds from woodwinds?”
Yea, just give it to me
jet whistles from flutes are another to add to the list
The face the clarinetist made dude💀
As a bassoonist- I love blasting my Reed in class. My oboe friend and I do it all the time 😂
The bassoon one is very relatable. But it can sound much weirder especially if you are trying to switch octaves😂Think like a clarinet squeak but not as high pitched (it’s kinda hard to describe). I had to learn the clarinet for marching season but the bassoon will always be my favorite😂
As someone who plays clarinet, I can confirm that I have indeed discovered that amazing sound
I play the clarinet and I like making owl sounds with the mouth piece
As a bassoon player I felt that last one
Omg the sax slap tongues!!!! My section leader does that all the time! He’s tried to teach us but I can’t figure it out 😅 Man I love him so much but he’s a senior and is gonna be gone next year 😭😭😭
My wife, Liza, said "it's Mikey!" She went to CCM with you. :) These are super fun!
Bassoon, the saddest of all instruments😔
more like psycho
They are still band kids at heart
multiphonics always end up to be what i do when practicing my music
Timbral trills: *Exist.*
John Corigliano: *It's free real estate.*
For some reason I love doing the “slap tongue”
The flute beatboxing actually sounds kinda cool in a weird way
Clarinet and bassoon can also slap tongue. Saxophone and clarinet can also do multi-phonics
Unfortunately TH-cam shorts and Instagram reels have length restrictions.
@@ArmyFieldBand bassoon can do multiphonics aswell
been playing flute for a year now and i love it
I’ve always waned to learn how to beatbox on my flute
All of those are cool sounds!
Exept for bassoon...
I like how most US Army troops play instruments
They learned that they don't really want to die.
The beatbox was amazing
I’ve done the slap tongue forever, and am just now learning it has a name lol.
This gives the woodwinds a whole new purpose to live
Haha my band teacher would never let me make that sound with my flute in class
You could make the argument that the NFA has recognized beatboxing as an official extended technique for the flute...
𝑆𝑎𝑚𝑒
Hey now buddy you didn't have to call me out on the Bassoon there lol
The clarinet guy had me dying in laughter
For the clarinet, you take the top part, with the reed and blow, it makes a squeaky noise
Thank you for your service
You're welcome 😊
Good thing to know my tax dollars are funding this. This is amazing!
Tf I don’t see u in an army fighting for America so they can do what they want
That smile after the clarinet timbral trills tho loooool
Bassoon can also do slap tonguing.. 😢
I know I do it all the time
@@cdiddy0-8 It can also do multiphonics
The clarinet one describes the clarinets at my band class 😂💀
actually i’m tired of my band woodwind section sounding like crap and i’m the only good besides my and my buddie
Bro, the clarinet is looking mighty devious today
I’ve been playing guitar a few years now and have discovered that they make many noises that were not intended
As a clarinettist, I’m personally a big fan of the throat-tone-a#-that-sounds-wrong-regardless-of-it-being-in-tune
Bassoon multiphonics are also really cool sounding! You should look into that..
I wish the woodwinds at my school were capable of making beautiful sounds
I love the faces they each make every time they're done.😂
The clarinet player took my soul.
Clarinet player here. There’s so many sounds I’ve gotten out of my instrument. For example, if you take the bell and hit the larger end flat on your palm, it makes almost a water drop noise.

As a flute player, I can confirm beatboxing and singing is a talent we all share.
All the woodwind players knowing the unbelievable irony in the first statement.
