They make wrist guards for inline skating, etc. Maybe check into those for next time. They saved my hands many time before I quit with the roller blades due to knee issues!

any tips on how to practice so i dont drive my relitives crazy because i need to practice high notes

Joseph Genna staccato studies are fantastic! Forced, focused practice on tonguing really has made a difference.

Excellent timing! on 11/15 I sustained a ruptured aneurysm in my brain with a bleed. I was in the hospital for 7 weeks. I am making a good recovery, I tried to play my clarinet this week for the first time, It went so so. hard to get all my fingers to work. This video is just what I need to motivate me Thanks!!

The way you love Études de la main gauche, Philip Glass must be a favorite 8^)

Maybe I might buy one on Amazon to possibly clear out the register tube

I hope your finger heals well. Loosing a finger permanentally might force you you start playing The trumpet.

Can you please make more videos on the Contrabass Clarinet 🙏

This put big smile on my face. Thanks!

I have the same issue but I need to play soprano, and holding the instrument is painful. Any tips? Ironically I also Injured my right thumb skiing 😂

Fire fit

0:10 that ski 🎿 outfit really is fire 🔥

The Bb isn't stuffy? TAKE MY MONEY

One other point of the non-articulated C#/G# - multiphonics.

Playing this at NMSU clarinet choir can’t wait to see if you go to ICA- Nathan Martinez

Well that sure was something!😅😢😂😮 I am just dissapointed that I didn't see any other auxiliary clarinets, like the Contrabass or E-flat or Alto.

It’s basically made from… a tree. (Entire tree)

Is it potentially possible to use this for metal screaming?

I love your videos! But you need a lapel mic, it's so hard to hear you clearly. Also the intermission music is like five times louder than your voice level...

I'm team hate this key. 😬

Can you leave the music as you play as well?

This was illuminating Mike, thank you! I wished i'd watched it a few months back, but i appreciate the insight!

When do the answers drop?

60 years later and r@cism is still a thing. Sad.

Seuls points communs: la même clarinette basse, le même dentifrice. Quant à la technique.... je vais essayer dans ma salle de bains !

Truly amazing….thank you.

Just submitted my guesses with a minute left at 11:59PM 📝

Beautiful!

oh no, have I gotten to the point of where I'm playing pieces that michael covers? ... this is gonna be a tough one😟

LOL😂 When I first began playing the ocarina, I would go practice at the highway overpass.. with Mack's Earplugs😅

What Bass Clarinet Stand do you use?

0:32 is perfection👌

Great peaces to use for testing ( Transscr Cello Suites?)..thanks for this video. I just started with a Yamaha student model, feels good, high register a bit challenging, I have to practise more to get used to it I guess.

Violinist here just trying to see what the "break" is. This is the second video in a row now that I've watched where the person in the video seems to talk about everything BUT the break.

This is the All Virginia audition etude this year.

Tysm i have extremely small fingers and I can’t cover the keys fully this might fix my issue

I love how the bass clarinet is going through a renaissance. I picked up a Kessler low C about 4 years ago and I’ve been happy with it so far (though the thumb F is a mother to get in tune). Been thinking about “upgrading” for a couple of months and I’m so happy that there’s finally a variety of great products in the sub $5K range.

Great playing;) I ve just ordered the ae 20 . I m waiting for the shipping. Do you know if the update issues were solved for clarinet fingerings ? Best Regards from the Netherlands

Update…. So I got myself the alpha (Eb model) and I am madly in love with it! Thanks for the great video!

this is fire

Any cork grease recommendations? I used to use vandoren black tube and I swear they changed the formula years ago. It’s like room temp butter so messy and wasteful

Selmer win

how the freak do you play so fast it looks so unreal

could i have the link for the clark fobes debut mouthpiece

Would you consider doing a video on how you create the manuscript (ca. 3:50) showing how to trill? Discuss available software, how hard it is, how long it takes, and demonstrate a brief passage? (I realize the alt is to simply write it out, but you're more entertaining.)

My band teacher played this for us..
