One of the biggest things I look for is the arrival high C is clear and in tune. The arrival needs to be definitive & uncompromising, before any vibrato starts. So many players arrive flat and it sounds like the glissando hasn't ended yet. By the way, the video looks great! What camera/lens setup are you using?

[@ParkHouseCreations]

That's a fantastic point, I wish I had included it in my video! And thank you, I am using a Fujifilm XT-3 with the 18-55mm F2.8-4 kit lens.

@@ParkHouseCreations Thank you so much for the info, it looks great and you sound fantastic!!!!!

[@chvckkkkkkk]

I have seen so many tutorials about the glissando, but I already know how to!!!! How do I play the parts afterrrrrrr!!!!!!!

[@robkunkel8833]

I love the explanation of voicing and the exercise. So much fun to strive to play the Rhapsody 50% backwards. :) Subscribed

Great tutorial! Looking forward to more. Is your head actually as tilted as it looks here when you play? I suspect it's the camera angle making it look that way.

[@ParkHouseCreations]

Good question! I definitely look down a little when I play, as I typically play between my knees when sitting down and I’m reasonably tall. I think the camera angle is making the angle look more severe than it actually is though!

[@donnasomboonlakana8567]

That was fabulous. Time to pick up my clarinet again. 😎

Have been binging your channel and love your work. I reallty like these technical kind of vids but also your reviews on reeds, mouthpieces, barrels and the sort. This video is really helpful and I was wondering if a similar video would be possible for Artie Shaws clarinet concerto, It has some really tricky glissandos in the altissimo register. It would be cool to see how you approach those.

[@ParkHouseCreations]

Hey Shaun, glad the videos have been helpful/enjoyable! It’s been a few years since I’ve looked at the Artie Shaw concerto, but I’ll add it to the list of pieces to do a practice vlog about!

[@Shaun_Oh]

@@ParkHouseCreations that's great! but ofcourse only when you want too, most important is you doing stuff you like, that's most enjoyable for all of us 👍

[@Freudiankey]

Doubt I’ll ever be good enough but many thanks

[@ParkHouseCreations]

It's always a journey learning a new technique, but I bet you'll get there! Thank you for watching!

[@roberthead795]

[@ParkHouseCreations]
