  • Playing Sleigh Ride by Leroy Anderson with the Clovis HS Symphony Orchestra at Paul Shaghoian Concert Hall, December 9, 2022. Decided I upload a video playing it with the algorithm pushing a lot of videos similar to this. Hope you enjoy! Also, my tuning is bad and my staring is bad too so don’t pay attention to it thank you very much

      there is an eb clarinet part! although i think they played extra parts (probably from the alto sax part, judging by their neck strap)
      the actual eb part has a lot less than this, just the trills, triplets, and second phrase of the jazz part (+other small parts)
      they sound great tho!

    @calliecarter1645 Год назад +4

    you did great! a minor tip though, your articulation is a bit heavy! this piece obviously uses lots of tonguing, so i def understand how it can get heavy. when you tongue it sounds like you are stopping the reed with a bigger portion of your tongue than you are supposed to, so it makes each note a bit shorter. use the VERY tip of your tongue to get that continuous flow and crisp articulation! it also helps for tonguing faster in the future, using the very tip of your tongue and tonguing lightly! you are only supposed to typically touch the reed for an extremely short time! (unless the piece needs stop motion tonguing, but that is typically rare) other than this great job! eb is definitely different than bb and gets a while to get used to. - a fellow college clarinetist :) good luck with your future endeavors!

      @gavyntapp7689  Год назад +4
