In band, we are given new sheet music and within about five minutes, we sight reed the pieces. After working on the pieces for a month or so, the band director would add dynamics that aren't written.

[@QuickStartClarinet]

That is a good common one too, and while it isn't always difficult to add a dynamic here and there later it would be better if they were just there from the beginning!
There is also room for a whole other discussion on how and/or why to add unwritten dynamics, but maybe that will be for another video.

[@elissahunt]

When I play with a conductor, I just follow whatever dynamics and tempo they conduct. I've never had a director say, "ignore the dynamics." It was always, "watch me!"
But of course, playing in a small group (like a quartet) or by yourself is a different story. It's always a good idea to look through music and see how it's supposed to go before trying to play it no matter what size group you're in.

[@QuickStartClarinet]

That is great, as long as you have a conductor that is showing dynamics, and they are good dynamics!

[@elissahunt]

@@QuickStartClarinet my husband jokes that all the Italian words on the music mean the same thing: "Watch the conductor!"

[@QuickStartClarinet]

🤣 yes, that’s a good one!

What clarinet is a good quality one to buy for a beginner/intermediate person? Thank you!

[@QuickStartClarinet]

It absolutely depends on your budget, but a Yamaha YCL-255 or Backun Alpha are generally pretty good choices.
