got my clarinet at a freaking thrift store, sent it into my repair store and got it fixed for 60 bucks. The lady who repaired it said it was a really good instrument. Practiced for an hour and got up to a high F# before the last C in about an hour. Excited to get started.
Thank you for this video. Many feel as though a clarinetist should avoid vibrato; which is true in most (if not all) symphonic settings, but in the right jazz setting it can bring more feeling to the piece played. I appreciate the time you took to make the video.
Sorry but you didn't tell us the essential. How did you lower the pitch? Lower the jaw, loosen the lips, reduce the air pressure from the diaphram, .... or what?
its better to do it with your throat similar to how you do vibrato when you sing. It sounds almost the same, but you will not develop bad habits with accidentally finding yourself biting down when doing vibrato.
j3y Doing it with your throat does not “lower” the pitch so it’s not called vibrato. Instead of calling it vibrato we call it tremolo because it doesn’t change the pitch it only changes the volume.
@@WDFQofficial Yeah, I think tremelo is less interesting for most of us woodwinds (sax is a woodwind too). OK for vibrato and bends (starting a note with a lower pitch & then raising it).
You shouldnt on a clarinet ! Vibrato is made with mouth position NEVER diaphragm. Lower the toung (cant spell haha) and search with your mouth. It will sound better because your air will be regular so the sound will be better ;)
@@kenzaa1717 might be an objective thing but many great reed players use vibrato with diaphragm and mouth, creates a stronger vibrato by aligning them. Personally I use jaw vibrato because I haven't practiced using my diaphragm as much, but the people who use both are much better than me and are professionals so I don't see anything wrong with it
Would it be too much to ask of how to growl on a clarinet? I have been trying so hard and even a friend who plays tenor sax was telling me how yet it so hard to sing the note when blowing air in the clarinet.
@@gadgetsansom3616 Actually I was only on a saxophone for two weeks in February to March this year after being on a bassoon in Woodwind Tech. Did not give a chance to growl on that. However, I did learn that from switching from sax on my first day to clarinet (my secondary instrument), it made the clarinet have a higher pitch.
My band director says to only go above the pitch when using vibrato, but here it says to go below the pitch. What is the difference and does it really matter?
Only going above the pitch is a mentality taught so students don't make it overly flat. Ideally your vibrato should envelop the pitch by traveling an equal distance sharp as it does flat so the center of the change is in tune
Thank you for the video. It was very interesting, but after viewing it I have no more of an idea how to create vibrato than I did before. Maybe I missed something.
Thanks for the 'what' but nothing on the 'how'. Your playing sounds fantastic but no help to me. Is it varying lip firmness or jaw movement in the embouchure? Or maybe a combined effort with airflow? Who knows?

okay now make it sound good lol
I play clarinet in the 8th grade and I hope to become as passionate and good as u one day
Elijah Clark me too 🙂
Practice makes perfect!👍 Btw love your profile pic
yo, you still playing the clarinet?
Yo same! I'm trying to get the vibrato nailed down for this talent show 🤣
@@ssa8816 idk does he?? I wanna know

Like all technique it has its place. Hopefully, most of us know better than to wear a bathing suit to a formal dinner.
It is necessary for klezmer.
I play the violin, and this helped me so much!
Odd Pies 😂😂😂😂😂😂
What...
😂 What??
um ok?
i hope this is sarcasm 💀
You made that clarinet sing. Omg 🙌!
This helped a lot thank you!!😊
Finally a video with Mr Goines! Thank you so much, great information!
Thanks!! "Hard by the yard- cinch by the inch" made me chuckle but it's so true!
Sorry but you didn't tell us the essential. How did you lower the pitch? Lower the jaw, loosen the lips, reduce the air pressure from the diaphram, .... or what?
Bill Glass lower the jaw
I hope Victor Goines can correct his presentation so all listeners can hear this tip. I don't think it"s obvious for all.

do you use vibrato from the diaphragm? If so I would love to see a video on that.
You shouldnt on a clarinet ! Vibrato is made with mouth position NEVER diaphragm. Lower the toung (cant spell haha) and search with your mouth. It will sound better because your air will be regular so the sound will be better ;)
Tony Acevedo you do with a flute, bassoon... sax and clarinet is jaw, and I couldn’t tell you about oboe I don’t play it lol

@@benren10 air for oboe
Karina Lujan update i play the oboe now and i can attest
Wow that was super beautiful

Well singing while playing is exactly how you growl. Just practice, I'm sure you'll get good at it!
MegaGermanShepherds you should try and do it on a saxophone to get the feel. That helped me.
You don't even have to sing the right note. You can just yell into the clarinet and it will growl.

Depends on the starting pitch, the scale, and your intention.
Only going above the pitch is a mentality taught so students don't make it overly flat. Ideally your vibrato should envelop the pitch by traveling an equal distance sharp as it does flat so the center of the change is in tune
@@Unknown-hk1cg yes this is how I see it as well.
Amazing, thankyou!!!
I really appreciate this. This helped a lot!

thank you soooooo much!
Can anybody tell me Professor Goines clarinet setup? I'm really curious
Thanks
Thank you so much! Greets from Austria.
So he’s changing his embouchure or moving his tongue in waves
No one:
Victor: Vighbrato
quá điêu luyện !. tuyệt vời.
Thank you
와 처음보고 반했습니다
Qual a marca desse clarinet
I use my lower lip
Thanks for the 'what' but nothing on the 'how'. Your playing sounds fantastic but no help to me. Is it varying lip firmness or jaw movement in the embouchure? Or maybe a combined effort with airflow? Who knows?
Why all the Videos are just colored screen? oO
So it’s not like when you play the flute and you use your diaphragm
Like! LOVE UKULELE ATLANTA HOLLY
But do you hear how he speaks... the phrasing of voice lol
