Cpt. Greylag Des_Omon MiyokoxClarinetti Cpt. Greylag Des_Omon Cpt. Greylag Des_Omon Hi clarinetists, my friend plays the clarinet and she has trouble with her high notes. The note are high b,c,d, and above. Its an octave above the "jump". Hehe, still no help yet sweatdrop i could have sworn I posted.... er are those the ones that are fingered as low E, F and G [with ALL fingers down] ? well I think it can apply to both octaves, whichever it was, anyways I would suggest loosening the jaw a bit, having firm side muscles and opening up the throat, also to be sude to have a steady stream of air, another way of helping is moving yourself down a bit when you play the notes, it helps. Either that or longtones D <3 O.o I said high notes, hehe, the basic loosening the jaw is known by everyone. Had to learn that one myself though DX. Anyways yeah, I thought that it would be like the sax, moving your mouth farther on the mouthpiece to produce higher notes. Is it the same for the clarinet? yep

I never could get the hang of air tonguing. I tried it but wound up slacking air off and doing half a dozen other bad things and I finally decided to TTTTTR or nothing. (Tip Top Tongue on Tip Top of Reed)
I'd recommend just tonguing in the way that feels right and gets the tone across. But the important thing in both tonguing methods is to never slack off on your air or you will die a most horrible and painful death impaled upon the conductor's baton. 3nodding

biggrin somehow even when I did fail he'd never throw ze baton, instead he'd accidentally hit his hand on the stand, happened yesterday while playing alligator alley, he was conducting and WHAM! hit his hand, i was like, "O_O...::keeps playing::"
I had an epiphany yesterday, all of a sudden I could play my solo =O it was so cool!
Mr. A told us that as of yesterday we have truly become wind ensemble [don't ask me how -_O] and it was one of the best rehearsals EVER O_o;;. We had moments of utter silence and there was this air of wonderful AWESOMENESS then Amy's phone went off...it did a bit of teh chromatic scale, it was our other other other bass clarinetist Eunice [...I didn't realize there was only five basses there...well actually four...if you don't count the contra, biggrin i love the contra!]
we laughed like crazy, :] and I almost cried, o-O people were ACTUALLY committed to the music and it was like...woah......
OH! THE COOLEST MOST AWESOMENEST THING!![besides being invited to be in a music camp]
REALLY COOL PROFFESSIONAL/UNIVERSITY PEOPLE ARE COMING TO CLINIC US!! LIKE HENRY ROBERT REYNOLDS :OOO! He conducted sanctuary, my most beloved piece by ticheli. mr. a says just about everyone writes concert band music for him. I overheard him talking about the new academy thats gonna happen next year up at the high school [-_O i've been recommended... biggrin D YAY!] we're having people from the boston symphony clinic us [ biggrin like in boston <3 that was awesome] and from all these universititeis, even yale O_____o; its so cool!! I wonder if mr. a will bring the oh so great Frank Ticheli, he's so awesome...
o_o i'm using awesome too much...
sorry but I'm just like WHEE! =/ I'll miss eighth grade...

@Miyoko: XDDD That's great for you! Congrats on Truly Becoming a Wind Ensemble. Hmm...I was hanging out with my sister and her music major friends one time at Catlett Music Center at OU and they were messing with cell phone ringtones, and at one point we were arguing over whether the scale ringtone was chromatic, Dorian, or...uh...whatever that other one was. >_> Hope the clinic goes well, and you have a great time being a FRESHMAN! >D!
@Riku: eek scream Nooo Rico Concert Series! NO! *slaps box out of your hand* For one who is working on tonguing, go with a softer Vandoren Traditional or Mitchell Lurie (if those even exist still...I haven't seen any in a while) and work your way up. It'll keep a great sound while compensating for your tongue work. 3nodding
Speaking of reeds...I want to try out a new brand of reeds. I've been thinking of trying Vandoren 56 Rue Lepic or Vandoren Black Master/White Master...anyone had any experience with these brands of reeds?
The new music store's opened where Brook Mays used to be...it's not a Buffet outlet like the rumors, but the same people who run the music store in Edmond have opened another here. I haven't checked it out yet...I will tomorrow! blaugh

The first clarinet in our band, she has a five star clarinet playing lesson teacher who plays in a concert house O.O
She says to use ricos because vandorens are evil.
Always listen to the first clarinet.

I find that my life just sounds interesting because I end up making everything absolutely complicated for me gonk
Anyways, I watched Amadeus last night, oh my mozart it was wonderful! [I can still hear mozart laughing...] But I could have sworn Constanze divorced mozart and their child died in real life....or am I just imagining things o_O;;
O_o the magic flute was written a while before mozart had died? [I wish they had a scene about the clarinet concerto D: ] I always thought it was his jupiter symphony...since it was the last...okay I don't think I've looked into mozart enough o-o;.
yay I have all state this week <3
