@@whoitisnot This prompted me to look it up....just to make sure I was not part of a complicated prank :). 18th century agriculturalist indeed! Thanks for elucidating me
I have never heard that. My follow-up question is how much is a significant amount? I would be happy to try and confirm it, but I wonder about the potential time commitment
@@clarinetninja It's something I remember from high school. The more I think about it the less sense it makes. The tongue doesn't even hit the reed in a flutter, at least the way I do it. If you do this exercise much I would think you probably would have noticed the extra wear and tear on the reeds if it were really a thing.
You learn a lot of those techniques playing a Yirdaki/didgeridoo (other spellings/meaning for yirdaki) that and circular breathing. I think I understand why I can pronounce Spanish words et al, having learned to 'flutter' my tongue and whistle, formed by learning clarinet starting in 56' and retained those abilities in non playing interim of 60 yrs with sporadic attempts thwarted by health. Thanks (still have that clarinet, Conn Director after 66 yrs.)
Thanks for the ideas. I have done these on saxophone but never on clarinet before. You can also flutter tongue and sing simultaneously.
The last exercise also works when you put a cloth in the bell instead of using your leg.
Ian Anderson is the flautist in Jethro Tull
Ah shoot….I did know that
@@clarinetninja Jethro Tull was a dude who invented some farm equipment centuries ago. That's who the band is named after. True story.

I'd always heard the doing significant amounts of flutter tonguing wears out reeds really quickly, but I've never really confirmed that. Anyone else?

Singing a different note from what you are fingering is one of the ways to “growl” on saxophone.
😄👍👌
Thank you!:). I wish this video was more appealing to people
Love it. Thanks!
