I play the clarinet in Mesa High Marching Band, Even though We had one practice for the summer right now, I think it would be the best! Once we get to concert season, I'm going back to the Oboe!

Durza the Shade Obaa-chan On a side note, what condition is/are your reed/s? The one I'm using right now has 4 small chips at the very end,but it plays ok... I use four at a time, switching them out every time I put my clarinet together. I first learned to play in Texas, you see, and band is big there. So I have better habits at taking care of my reeds and instruments than anyone I know. Anyway, I'm using three relatively new ones, and one old one that's too good to give up. They're all mostly unscathed. YAY TEXAS BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And does anyone else bite their reeds when they get nervous? sweatdrop

Hey, I need some help. I'm trying to buy a clarinet and I can't decide between the LeBlanc Concerto or the Buffet R-13/Festival.... I haven't played an R-13 yet, but I tried a concerto and the sound was really serene... magic like (better than my dumb E-11)... I'm buying a new clarinet because I need better tone, and I was the only person at my All-State with an intermediate clarinet... xp

But since it's wood, you gotta take care of it really well, especially if your area is dry. xp

Maybe I should buy a humidifier.... xp

For some reason, instead of getting better, i have a feeling im getting worse. And thats really bad, because this year im the only 8th grader returning for another year to Honors Band in the clarinet section. So naturally right now im first chair, but if i get worse (or if i actually am im hopin this is all in my head) a 7th grader will beat me in the first weeks of school..thats quite embarassing. Like on my concert Bb scale, from the higher register f to c, my tounging isnt precise, and you can hear grunts..anyone have any tips?

Like on my concert Bb scale, from the higher register f to c, my tounging isnt precise, and you can hear grunts..anyone have any tips? Just keep practicing at it. Usually, I don't tongue my scales, since on woodwinds runs are...well...runs. If you're going faster, sometimes it's best not to tongue, but if you're going slower, just keep up at being more accurate with your tonguing, and I'm sure you'll do fine. As for feeling you're getting worse, well, sometimes one just has a slump in music. Look for something to inspire you and keep practicing, and it'll come back to ya. wink
