- So I got this request from Nikolai Morales, a 12-year old who watches the channel. I oblige because he asked nicely, and because this piece actually provides a good topic: ALTERNATE FINGERINGS!
REASON TO STOP SMOKING NUMBER SEVEN MILLION
what?
+Jordan Miller I believe what Remigny means, is that reason no. 7,000,000 to stop smoking is so that you can play this. Hope this helped :D
+ThatOneGuyThatDidThatOneThing OrCallMeTOGWDTOT oh thanks xD
+Jordan Miller Geez that was fast lol. I guess I was on RUclips at the right time :P

"U payed for these keys use them " favorite part of the video
William Echegaray mine was “SHOOT ME!!!!!”
You just blew my little high-schooler bass clarinet mind.
HOLY CRAP SAME
Mariah Andrews IM NOT IN HIGH SCHOOL YET BUT IM BASS CLARINET AND THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY I WILL BE ABLE TO DO THIS EVER IM ONLY IN VARSITY
Mariah Andrews same
Mariah Andrews i got bamboozled
for real tho
Him: ***Takes Short breath***
[It lasts for like 4 minutes]
Me: ***Takes an Awfully long deep breath** [Lasts like half a minute] >:[
He does circular breathing
It’s circular breathing
ツA'leah Gacha ツ he was a circular breathing video
he’s pushing air out of his cheeks while breathing in through his nose so he’s constantly breathing
ツA'leah Gacha ツ no im a clarinet player and there is a ton of breathing involved but we do it secretly so that’s why u think that
*takes inhale*
BOI
Erick Fuerte what do you expect
Helloiuehe circular breathing
[GD] Goose Crack that comment was like a month ago why bother 😅
This comment was 5 months ago.
That is true
This is easy have you ever tried *hot cross buns*
👏🏾
Our music class strugged E D C-E D C-D D D D E E E E E D C-
hot cross buns is one of the hardest instrumental songs to play
betchu someone's gonna take this seriously and say 'hot cross buns is for beginner band it's like the easiest piece how is it hard'
@@3str3lla I know right 😂😂
Goal in life: continue to play the bass clarinet and one day learn to do that
Person who has no videos Yes.
same
same-
I play the bass, and I can't play this.
@@theDino03 well, just by playing it once you won't accomplish anything. Keep learning new notes and practice this. You'll see improvement.
"use my other hand to scratch my butt or something" KILLED ME XD
I literally laughed out loud XD
Heh.. did you get lightheaded after playing this ?
+Allbbrz No, did you get lightheaded listening to it? ;)
+Earspasm Music Yeah, it's dizzying ;-)
I get horrid pains in the back of my head
Circular
B
gnihtaer
Allbbrz no cause it's not a a brass instrument or you have to change your tone so you just have to blow and move your finger sub for woodwind no heat the woodwinds
i know the struggle of trying to move from f to f sharp. "shoot me!!" omg that killed me 😂😂
Fascinating instrument. You play it beautifully.
Awesome! I played bass clarinet in school at 15, I'm now 87 and thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you Earspasm Music.
@Alexander. Nope. Unfortunately they make crappy alt fingerings because they're very, very out of tune.
probobly
Can u play hot cross buns, heard that was hard
Earspasm Music where can I get the miso sheet I want to play it but don’t have the notes
LOL
Earspasm Music I had a bass clarinet commercial pop up before watching this video lol
You're a beast. I'm a clarinetist so I know how tough it is to manhandle a clarinet or a bass clarinet. Keep up the great instructional work.
Imagine this on a Contra 😬
I’d die
"... and your middle finger's sticking up so you can flip off your neighbour" xD
superninja553 I intentionally liked this comment so it would have 70 likes instead of 69 lol
I actually did that when we were practicing and she noticed. She is a Bb Clarinet and I play the Bass Clarinet. It was funny to hear her after we were done with practice.
"SHOOT ME" 😂😂this is the best
am i the only one here who thinks he is dressed like arthur also i play an alto saxophone
Same bro
Totally Tortoise same :))
Ooo i play alto sax and the bass clarinet :)
Flight of the _f_ * € # ! ^% Bumblebee
(Or: how alternate fingerings can make your life simply wonderful)
*now THAT'S a good title*
I'd like to request an audio recording of you saying "Hell no!"
+Talvorn Vaad And "Shoot me!"
I laughed my ass off when you said shoot me for some reason. Lmao.
anime profile picture me too😂
This guy is surrealistically phenomenal.
He'll make an excellent "Organic Real Jazz" performer.
Of more, he enjoys his chosen vocational aspiration, and unselfishly shares his knowledge doucement.
Thanks.
Omg I've never liked a video so fast in my years of watching RUclips.
Jason Rodriguez same bruh
And here we observe the bass clarinet god Michael Lowenstern.
I've watched you from the start when I was just beginning on the clarinet and later moved up the rank to bass clarinet, you are a very big inspiration to me and a goal as a musician. in many ways you are probably the greatest bass clarinet player I have ever seen I would love to contact you and have a talk.
Dude. I'm the greatest in EVERY way. (Kidding). You can reach me on my site (earspasm.com)
Love it. "You paid for those keys! Use then!"
Can't beat that arguement.
Thanks for making a video on the flight of the bumblebee Michael. 😃👌🏻
flight of the bumblebee is like the eruption of orchestral instruments
Ryan Fullerton Eruption is pretty easy tho
hey earspasm you should do fur elise on your bass clarinet
amen!
fur elise is really easy and doesn't really have a good topic to focus on.
MKN-002 Punk It’s really easy honestly
"You paid for those keys: use them!" Love your videos.
I am not even a bass clarinet player, but I enjoy watching your videos. Your personality is just so engaging, you make everything fun. When I was younger, I wish I could have had educators more like you. Thanks so much for being a professional with a heart.
9 crappy trumpets wish they could play this
11 now xD
12
only could play first 10 measures
+Class oKhan you should commend your self for that much
Class oKhan remember a lot of it is repetitive chromatics so 10 measures is like 30-40 in actuality. Thats still pretty good(assuming its at full tempo)
WHEN YOU SCREAMED "SHOOT ME" LMFAO
Those 55 dislikes are those wanna be trumpets😂😂
my piano teacher double majored with clarinet and showed me a whole page of these trick trills, they’ve been invaluable to my playing. thanks for the video!
SO MUCH RESPECT.
This video is a ride from start to finish and I’m here for every minute of it
This was the most impressive thing I’ve seen as a bass clarinet player I hope to accomplish this greatness some day.
Brilliant. I watch because it makes double bass and cello practice seem somehow... much easier.
This guy is so talented and underrated idk why
hi Alexander, I just subscribed, I play on a B flat clarinet, even though it is a little different than your bass clarinet I did find many of your clips and tips and advice useful and helpful, besides I like your personality a lot, love you, thanks for all your stuff.
Bro you are so crazy in the greatest way, wonderful video.
Keep up the knowledge!
I want to see a trombone play this
Josiah Welch gliss all the way
TOOT
i play the clarinet and I have a concert today, WISH ME LUCKK!
good luck!
No
What?
NO
why are you saying no?
Absolutely beautiful! Bass clarinet is my favorite!
I keep watching this video over and over again. It's that good!
Love this guy
As well was Lenny Pickett on bass clarinet
Just JOY!!!!
nice man this is why bass clarinetist's are dope keep it up
I play bass clarinet too, I never knew someone could be this god at it though
i lost it when i heard a loud "SHOOT ME"
that pinkie action is mesmerizing
So cool! I played the same thing on my bass clarinet in 1982 for Solo and Ensembles. It's so nice to see someone else do it too.
"You paid for those keys, use them" 😂😂
You always give the most amazing lessons and the most cogent talks about advance woodwind playing. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
To the 20 guys who gave this a thumbs down, sorry this guy beat you out, and kicked your ass at the audition. Learn to take it better, and keep practicing.
And I am minded blown I will play my bass clarinet like that some day
Yes!! Yes yes! I played bass & standard clarinet from childhood thru college. I LOVED bass 😅 This video was so delightful. I think I have to start up again.
cool, one day I will play this. good job
As a clarinetist I found the f to f sharp very helpful and I found this video hilarious. Thanks for making this masterpiece.
Love your playing Michael. God bless you. Bill. UK
"You PAID for these keys USE 'EM"
Holy crap! This was grade 10 music class in HS. That was 1985! Loved the sounds I could make with the bass clarinet. I remember none of this!! Very cool though.
I was recommended this video after watching Flight of the Bumblebee on a Dulcimer Cimbalon. Played Bb Clarinet in High School and University. Haven’t played in 15 years, however I might dust that clarinet off and start playing again after watching this. 😁 Great Video by the way!
Love your vids.
That was excellent...full of information...(and hilarious).
Arguably one of the very best videos I've ever seen. Great skill and performance coupled with insightful help and did I mention the HILARITY!???
A quick lesson and an impressive performance..?
Nice.
(Ps: Really appreciated that quick lesson, don't get me wrong. I play clarinet and still need to be reminded about alternate keys from time to time. I still remember starting on the clarinet during my freshman year, struggling to keep up with the more experienced players because I only knew one way to play certain notes since I didn't want to bother learning about any other way to play them, like the C and B alternates. I would soon understand why they exist when my band had to play faster and more difficult pieces.)
lmao idk why i find this funny
Hahaha same. He's hilarious and educational.
I wish that the music teachers I'd met along the way were more like you are. So many teachers either didn't have the mastery of the instrument that they touted having, or felt the need to restrict lessons to such oversmplification to the exclusion of all else as to turn learning an instrument into a bore and a chore.
In particular I remember one drum set instructor that was all about the rudiments. I'd been playing for a few years and I was aware of the rudiments and could play them when called upon but he kept insisting on rudiments, without actually bothering to explain how those rudiments in-general and the paradiddle variations in-particular would help the player move around the kit seamlessly. It was only later that I figured this out on my own, but a quick discussion and demonstration would have done wonders for actually justifying _why_ he was all about the rudiments.
Love!! I played bass clarinet. Chromatic scales are your go to for warm ups.
Wow, you actually did it. This definitely deserves a subscription
I died when he just yelled “SHOOT ME”
I don't know why, but doing the D sharp no my left hand is harder for me, than coordinate the two hands
Awesome always! Perhaps you should try Rhapsody in Blue. Although the glissando would prove difficult :'( #bassclarinetproblems
Patrick Manville This is the one edge we will always have over saxes. (Open-holes for the win!)
heeyyy we are clarinets 2 :'(
Patrick Manville true. Us sopranos just have to grab onto anything to help us in our war against alto saxes :)You still always are the powerhouse in chamber music!
:')haha
Noah Stone another is being in actual orchestras
i love the bit when you say "you paid for those keys.....use them"
That’s a very big bumblebee.
Great video. Looking forward to showing this to my first year players this week!
Anybody that can play wind this fast--I'm impressed!
This channel helps me out so much with me playing bass clarinet
GENIUS!
WOW!!! love that....loved watching your fingers move...incredible.......i've searched your entire channel and never found anything with an Alto Clarinet....you must not be into that one...it's my favorite clarinet....love all instruments though
That circular breathe is on point.
I HAVE NO WORDS and will use the evidence for my bass
Awesome!! Love it! I played while in school
"You paid for those keys! Use them!" I love this
unbelievable! not human!
Wow. I was in all star band YEEEEEARS ago...I'd forgotten how beautiful it sounds.
I was dead laughing at your f sharp trill You hand froze me phone 😂😂
Thanks for teaching me my alternates
wow. I was a bass geek. Thanks for this. Fingerings and all.
so smooth and perfect...😀
This video would have been very helpful back in 1989 when I was second chair bass clarinet trying to get first chair back in middle school
I love your videos I'm starting the bass clarinet for my 7th grade advanced band and it's cool to here some of the cool things about the bass clarinet
Thank you so much! I've been playing bass clarinet for 7 years (6th-12th) and the advise it very useful, especially for the F#! and also by the way. I love your professional bass clarinet! I've always played on my Intermediate Yahmaha and I love it, but I wish I had all of those extra buttons to hit those really low and high notes. Lastly, amazing performance at the beginning, I love hearing my instrument do such amazing things and songs, its truly my favorite.
Thanks, Michael.
I always thought the "alternate" Bb fingering sounded better than the normal one, anyway. Maybe it was something about how I played it, but others in my section realized the same thing.
Hahahaha, I love this channel some much, it's funny seeing him just getting unhinged
Blows my mind every time I watch it 😂
I love this guy :) so much fun!
Man, I miss bass clarinet. I played clarinet back in fifth grade, but switched to bass clarinet for middle school. Played it three years, with only two others in our band (so we'd bow out and let the others have a turn as first chair every now and then) but couldn't stick with band in high school. I couldn't afford to get one of my own, and have been pining for one since. I still have the Bb clarinet I used to play, but it's just not the same to me.
Awesome!!!!
I love that! You sound amazing! I admire you so much! I am going to be a junior in highschool next year, and my band director asked me to play the bass this year, ( i normally play clarinet) and i absolutely love it! I have surprised myself, my teo teachers, and some of my peers with the surprising clearness and tone i have on the bass :) your videos inspire me and help me out A LOT! Thank you so much! You're awesome! :D
as a bari sax player, this is frightening. my lungs hurt just from watching.
