      That's a good question! I'm not sure. My only guess is that our bodies change as we age, so maybe your lips have changed a bit. I'm not a whistling expect though. Thankfully, you don't actually need to be able to whistle to do the whistle trick. You can still hear the pitch in your air, even if your lips aren't able to turn the air into a clear whistle.

      Thanks for the comment! The best advice is to take things slow and think of yourself as an athlete. You're developing muscles and muscle memory. That takes time, patience, and focus on relaxed hand position. Scales are a great way to work on that, but really you can focus on fingers with any music as long as it's easy enough for you to devote brain power to focusing on your fingers.

    Hello, I'm sorry when you curl your lower lip over your teeth, the dentures or the chin come out unintentionally, so the dentures and chin should stay in their normal position, just raise the dentures or the dentures and chin so they don't stick.

    • @ClarinetHQ
      @ClarinetHQ 4 месяца назад

      Interesting. You don't need to move your lower lip very much since only a small amount covers your bottom teeth. Doing that should cause your jaw to stick out. If it does, try doing it without the clarinet first. Once you can keep your chin pointed while barely covering the top of your front bottom teeth with you lower lip, then trying with the clarinet without playing. Once you can do that, then try doing it while playing something very simple so you can focus on your embouchure.

    Hi, I’m still having trouble with tongue positioning. I’ve been playing with my band for so long I didn’t know I had a hard articulation. No matter how much I try, I can’t seem to arch my tongue high and make the tip of the tongue touch the tip of the reed. When I do, it makes a squeaky sound. What would you suggest?

    • @ClarinetHQ
      @ClarinetHQ 7 месяцев назад

      If I had to guess, I'd say that your chin probably moves when you articulate. It's a really common thing among clarinetists because it's hard to train your body to keep your embouchure still (without too much jaw pressure), your tongue in that high "whistle trick" position, and only move the tip of your tongue when you articulate. A little bit of practice might be helpful: ruclips.net/video/Ct1audCpE7w/видео.html

    An interesting video. However, it sounds a bit funny to refer to the smaller instrument as "the Bb clarinet" because BOTH instruments you're playing are pitched in Bb. "Soprano clarinet" would make much more sense. Of course I realize the soprano instruments are available in different pitches, but Bb is essentially the "default" pitch and most common.

    • @ClarinetHQ

      There's no reason for anyone to panic about their clarinet cracking. Sometime you can do everything right and still get a crack. However, it is something to take seriously, especially if you live in a dry climate. A little prevention goes a long way. As Backun artists, most of the information we share in this video is directly from them, but it never hurts to consult directly with the manufacturer or a trusted teacher/technician.

Microfiber swabs can be thicker, which makes it easier to get caught on the register tube. ProTec, Vandoren, and BG all make microfiber swabs. They are really great at absorbing moisture, probably better than silk. If you get one, just be extra certain that it's for B-flat/A clarinet and be extra careful when swabbing.

    The misconception that the bass clarinet is easier to play has to do with the fact that in band music the bass clarinet mostly plays simpler parts. that teh Ssoprano clarinet. A professional bass clarinetist should master a few additional skills : het/she must be able to read bass clef and G clef equally proficient . For band music it is sometimes required to be able to read bass clef and transpose it up a tone . This makes it possible to read (2nd) bassoon parts and bari sax parts. In the symphony orchestra one should be able to read bass clef parts a semitone lower in order to be able to play ass clar in A parts: e.g. ravel, La Valse, Piano concerto for the left hand and in Mahler symphonies this might appear.

    So this was my first year on bass. I made tmea region on soprano freshman and sophomore year and my lesson teacher wanted me to switch to bass to try and make all state. At the start it was a slightly jarring switch but now that I’m more comfortable switching between the two I wouldn’t call bass easier. It has its challenges like playing fast passages which can be slightly unruly on leaps and breaks and low register stuff past Eb but having played on soprano for 5 years prior I would say having that experience has made certain aspects like high range much easier on bass

    As a person that was a clarinet for around 1 month I can say that (in my opinion) bass is much easier. Also I am in 7th grade but I started as a clarinet but I was going to be a saxophone but I hated the clarinet because of the open holes. The open holes always was super hard and eventually I gave up the clarinet and was the first bass clarinet in 6th grade (covid had stopped band for 2-3 years). I now love the bass clarinet and I eventually want to join jazz band (as a clarinet) but I have to wait a year to tryout.

    I played clarinet for years. Then in my 30's I started playing tenor sax. I can tell you first hand, the lower instrument is WAY easier on the mouth. My mouth burns out with the clarinet, it never burns out with the tenor. And while these are two different instruments, the embouchure is very similar between tenor and bass. So no, I would disagree.

    • @ClarinetHQ
      @ClarinetHQ 2 года назад

    Hi, I see that you respond to many comments and questions. I have a question too. I am really flat whenever I play my clarinet. When I try to tune it (I tune to the note G) I always sound incredibly flat. I’ve tried to work on this a lot and found it it was mostly my embochure. I’ve gotten better now but I am still a little bit flat. Not to the point where I’m playing G# though. How can I play at a perfect pitch and not sound too flat or too sharp? Is it my embochure? If so, how do I fix it?

    • @ClarinetHQ

      Good for you for paying attention to intonation! Very frequently the culprit is your tongue position when you're consistently playing flat. Have you watched our Whistle Trick video? You may want to check out some of the videos on our High Note Hacks playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLFQufybMvJhSkn6Nucim5rhGBrEznoHkb Many of the videos focus on tongue position and embouchure, which both play a big role in intonation.

    This is a really nice comprehensive video for beginners! Subbed, been playing for 15 years but it's awesome to see good education on a wide range of clarinet aspects. For a good affordability to quality ratio, I've had a lot of success with my Yamaha 2016 CSVR, I'm not sure if you've played it but it's a great horn! Have you considered doing a video on comprehensive reed care? I know many beginners (and even later years players like myself until recently 😅) who struggle with getting good reeds and keeping them playing well.

      Thanks for the kind words! I've had similar experiences with Yamahas, especially at the beginning and intermediate levels. That's a great idea for a video (or maybe a series of videos)! Reeds are always a pain. Everyone seems to have a slightly different approach, but there are a lot of commonalities. Thank you for the suggestion.

    What do you think of the Bakun Alpha? I used the Amazon Cheap ones (Mendini) for awhile, but switched to the Bakun and it's sound is amazing compared to the cheap one. Thanks.

      Congratulations on the new instrument! I'm a big fan of the Alpha. Generally speaking, the really cheap clarinets are cheap for a reason. If you're able to afford a better quality synthetic clarinet like that Alpha, it's usually worth it. (Like you found out.)
