  • The Backun Educator Series presents Michelle Anderson, founder of Clarinet Mentors (www.clarinetmentors.com), in a series of videos designed specifically to help school band teachers to teach clarinet more easily and effectively. To produce good sound on the clarinet, your students likely need to learn how to blow much faster than they have been. There are some techniques for air support on the clarinet that differ from other wind instruments.
    This video will show you how you can teach your student clarinetists to radically improve their air support on the clarinet. These simple exercises will help them to play with a richer tone, and achieve a better dynamic range on the instrument.

    As a college student trying to improve my clarinet playing, I was really struggling with figuring out the proper breath support. Thank you so much, you can't even imagine how agonizing this was for me.

    This helped me incredibly. Ever since I started playing tenor saxophone while playing the clarinet always struggled with breath support. You saved my Freshman year

    the alternative G sharp fingering actually helped my airstream better although it's difficult to blow at first. thank you so so much for the tip!

    Amazing!! the fingering you shared is incredible! thank you so much. I've been having problems with biting and it's hard to catch myself when I do, but with this new embouchure/breathsupport test, its helping me get rid of that bad habit. thank you!

    I wonder why my clarinet sound airiness and fuzziness even I try harder to blow? I know that’s my fault but what’s problem makes it like that? Slow air? Wrong position?

      It might actually be your reed

    • @zachfryar1820
      @zachfryar1820 Před 4 lety +3

      What you can do is rub the reed on a piece of paper, sealing the air holes within the reed, therefore making a better sound

      Yeti Skillz there’s a small broken hole at the tip of my reed. Is it the reason?

    • @zachfryar1820
      @zachfryar1820 Před 4 lety +1

      Erwin Lee hmmm...it might be. Just switch reeds and make sure you wet the new reed pretty good before playing and let me know how it goes👍

      I actually made two videos with me playing Scooby Doo songs on the clarinet and I think the tone quality sounds alright

    I can't get enough air in my lungs to play two measures at metronome rate 85. So, it's not the rate at which I blow air. What is it?

  • @zozzystudio
    @zozzystudio Před rokem

    I wish I could play better but I just keep squeaking in the altissimo range and it’s really frustrating because I am taking college lessons and I still can’t get rid of the squeakiness I just don’t know what to do
