LOVE YOUUU

im actually having so much fun on Bb but miss bass (only on hard pieces tho)

@ literally my bass at home sucks but Bb is actually so fun fr

Bb lol

imo its more fun lol

Thank you!!!

!!! its fun but pretty straight forward

@@jacksondecanio i feel like for the sake of our jazz band that would be best bc its super chaotic rn lmao

Keep up the work on bass clarinet!! this was actually recorded in a wind ensemble so only string was a bass

Oh okay thanks for the correction when I asked if it was recorded in an orchestra.

op my bad

they are nice but pretty expensive

Contra is one of my favorite clarinets! sounds so nice

@@youronlyonlineartist9497 You have to think, this will sound weird, but lifting up the back of your throat. helps with the jumps and playing higher in general. other then that is just playing long tone up there to get it consistent and doing interval exercises

@@jacksondecanio it helps me so much thank you 😭

@@youronlyonlineartist9497 ofc :))

TYYY!!!

… NOTHING WAS MEANT BY THAT I DONT MEAN TO WINKKKKK

yasssss lol

@@jacksondecanio only like one of my conductors are like this:((

@@jacksondecanio thats so real i have sm concert runs in my phone lmao (all js me practicing cs my skl is sooo strict)

Unfortuanetly I only have my part. You may be able to find a score video on youtube

tyyy ive grown to hate it cause wr played it all semester 💀💀

@@jacksondecanio omg noo that’s unfortunate 😭 literally gave me flashbacks to pomp and circumstance lmao

lower your jaw. similar to getting low notes on Bb or bass. spend some time doing long tones down in that lower register. make sure you are taking in more mouthpiece too having your mouth close where the reed meets the mpc

@@jacksondecanio ok i’ll do that, thanks so much!!

@@jacksondecanioi actually also just noticed it now, where you guys sang the “ah” was actually beautiful. you did it amazing!!

@@1lanagoldenn the singing was awful i hope never again lol

@@jacksondecanio real tho. once we had to do it and the 1st chairs had the choir melody or whatever its called behind the lows and being 1st chair clairy was so much pain. you did really well though!<3

YAAASSSSS

@@jacksondecanioWAIT HAVE YALLS DID THE HIVE BEFORE

the hive? i dont think so

@@jacksondecanio omg it’s so fun i think you guys would love ittt. color guard ppl r sooo fun bmf plz (/gen)😭

@@jacksondecanio oh wait what hs is this? i dont think all hs do the hive

thankssssss that was my first time doing a solo just off changes

@@jacksondecanio no problemm!! jazz is the bestttt hope u keep doing it🫶🏻

Eb player was so cool ;))

For your first question, you are getting the overtone coming through on those low notes, this is a common issue I see with a lot of people when starting on bass clarinet/clarinet and trying to play low. This may seem odd, but try to lower the back of your throat when you are down lower along with loosening your embouchure. As for the starting notes squeaking, that is all in your embouchure. Usually that one is caused by either blowing too much, being too far on the mouthpiece, or being to tense or tight. Hope this helps but if you have any more questions let me know. :))

yayyyy those tremolos where really annoying

⁠@@jacksondecanioomg i’m sooo late but you still did rly good on them!! i could never, my poor mouth would ascend to heaven💀💀

The original piece in the score is written for contrabass, which is what my director originally sent to me, but I only have a contralto and so I transposed Bb to Eb, but on my computer I only had the Bb part saved to use in the video cause I deleted the transposition.

As a bass clarinetist, I can tell you why. It’s because they are. 😎

@@williamsanborn9195 if I didn't play bassoon I would 100% play bass clarinet
