Fantastic tips…I really liked the quick patreon question answer before going back to the main topic. It was nice to be inside your mindset for preparation and even link back to last week’s micro practice video. As always, I liked how you quickly highlighted so many ways to become show ready. Also, neat that you spoke on some cool concept reminders that music preparation is not always just on practicing the instrument, but with recordings, score study, and the like. You had such a lovely consistent sound as you changed octaves and “thought low as you played high” it was very saxophone like( no offense😂). What I mean by that is you said…nothing really should change in the octaves. You were spot on the same with embouchure etc as you displayed such beauty on the clarinet. My first tip for articulation-sound fits with your “no one likes a wimpy bass clarinet sound” and using air…. Number one: Think of the room you are playing in and ensure you are filling it as well as the instrument. This should make things easier as you are actively engaging the instrument and even getting some feedback for how you sound and the weight of your articulation and if it is working as the sound bounces aback to you. My last one is complementary to your striking the reed: I think of the takeaway of the tongue from the reed as important as striking the reed. The tongue is just interrupting the air like this line | interrupting my sentence. So, getting off the reed is one tip to ensure you are not dwelling on the front of the strike, but moving to the rest of the line/phrase. As always, thank you for your videos and sharing your skills. I feel motivated to play after watching.
Thanks Cally! You have such great information and I appreciate you sharing with all of us! I am eager to try out this Etude later today! At a MUCH slower pace, however. Lol!
Not me literally watching this because I have a solo thats upcoming and im really anxious about the high part because since im a bass clarinet I usually dont have to deal with high notes

Great tips!! I agree, the thinking of taking the tongue away quickly can help keep the articulation sound light.
