I played guitar since 3rd grade but I don’t enjoy playing it much and I want to learn how to play clarinet so should I switch?

[@paaatrick9451]

I'm an alto sax beginner and I always forget to wet my reed.

[@TheDoodlD]

Back when I played the clarinet, it took me a little while to put it together, so I'm just putting my instrument together when my band teacher tells everyone to play. I just sit there like: I'm right here... you can SEE I'm not ready to play.

[@umepaws4021]

My band teacher made me start with a 3, he made ALL of us.

[@katiekirst6908]

[@bellaposa0628]

I used to play Clarinet. I also used to play Alto Sax. I now play Baritone Sax. I gent get over how big Baritone reeds are compared to all of these. 😂

[@BonaldDrump]

Thank you very much! You are very helpful and Friendly! 😀😀

[@yourboydoublepinkeye]

Today we had band and we did battle of the sections. Clarinets vs oboes and flutes vs saxophones. I'm a clarinetist and we won by a half point. I did a solo for Mary had a little lamb because we had just started band about 6 weeks ago and I got 10/10 points for the clarinets. Saxophones came in second then floboes my band teacher calls them because the flutes and oboes are one team. Band is the bomb.

[@danielshao9161]

Spacedreams AJ 10/10 points for mary had a little lamb lol. If my band did this the Clarinets would loose by a landslide because we only have like 2 actually good players. While the flutes have a player that pratices about an hour a day and is probably the best in the band ._.

[@shilohcaughran8680]

I'm in 6th grade in my first year of band so this was helpful. I play the clarinet

[@jraio747]

This is one great site!! Thank You for all the great videos!!

[@beautyislove2012]

Today was my first consert today I was surprised

[@yaxirybrindascortes1484]

you help me a lot with my clarinet and flute thank you

[@blurfy]

I am just starting to play it! :D

[@Guff219]

Why am I watching this? I already know how to play all the notes on a clarinet.

[@alisha8905]

First year hope i do good!

[@yeehaw2177]

Why am I watching this I've been playing clarinet for 5 years. Edit: ew don't use rico reeds use vandoren. Much better quality. Edit again: chipped reeds can still work. I got first chair with a chipped reed and some of them can be perfectly in tune. I'm not saying you should use chipped reeds. Just avoid them if you can.

[@kaylawalker5511]

When I started, I was taught to first use a reed strength of 1 1/2. Beginners should never use a reed strength of 2 or 2 1/2. It's gonna be too hard to get a sound AT FIRST.

[@hannaht4330]

I started with 2, I dont remember it being hard. But depends whos playing..

[@danielshao9161]

kayla walker i started with a 2

[@iiovemiku]

I first watched this 3 years ago, and I'm cringing remembering how bad i was. customary things like "make sure your clarinet is up" and "make sure to put mouthpiece into small end of barrel" were tasks in themselves back then. Now I'm having fun playing eight notes in cut time.

[@horriblekids]

Played for 2 years then went to homeschool for a year and couldn’t play now I’m going back and wanted a refresher

[@bbohandy]

You helped so much

[@UncleRio7777]

nice intro! thx again! you're the man!

[@joanna2884]

im watching these wids bc i got in band for 6th and im getying a clarinet so i wanns know some stuff

[@haileycrane5045]

I didn't know someone could make a video this long just to put together a barrel and a moth piece then putting a Reed on XD it literal takes me like 30 seconds to do that

[@pettips1013]

this is so helpful I am going to play it in sixth grade band because we have to do quior band or both and I'm doing both and got claranet which I wanted trhanj yo for posting this

[@davidpires629]

Thanks

[@animallover3148]

[@cringequeens7555]

I really need reeds but idk where to get them and my parents don't understand that I NEED more reeds to play bc I only have one and I am starting to play on Tuesday mabey so I need more just in case it breaks and I'm ganna get in trouble if I don't have 1 ugggg this is terrible anyone know where I can getting that real and low price

[@moldysandwich5278]

Why am I watching this, I play the alto sax lol

[@mariadanieladiaz8667]

lol I play the violin but I'm going to start learning how to play the clarinet

[@janeseymourtheonlyonehetru2726]

I play the flute,Why am I watching this 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@gamercoolcraft4208]

If you don't put the reed on something the sound that will not come out it will be silence

[@chrisworkman274]

Does the mouthpiece have to match the brand of the clarinet? I just got a lightly used Bundy clarinet for Christmas yesterday. Even though it's used, It is like new.I want to buy a second mouthpiece for my cousin, who also wants to play it. Also, do you prefer a plastic or metal ligature?

[@xx_emmsterr_xxgaming9838]

I've played flute since 5th grade I'm now at the end of 7th grade and I'm switching to clarinet for next year aka 8th grade

[@danicamoore6924]

[@deejourneyz_]

how many times can you reuse a reed before its time to dispose it

[@staronthesky6700]

Thanks so helpful :)

[@mileskaitlynn]

I don't have a mouth peice cap..

[@cheersquad2638]

[@ppasham]

[@jahoonies]

[@1Amiel1]

I remember my clarinet playing days and whenever I make a high pitch noise, I always blamed it on the reed. My reeds look exactly like the ones in 2:10.

[@mangowater9143]

Is the clarinet hard to learn

[@miriamlandaverde6048]

[@hannaht4330]

4th year 8th grade band :3 Its so fun we get to tour and things .3.

[@thecat503]

6th grade band for me

[@marines496]

That is not a reed case. The clear case is for the Manufacturer to put the reeds in to avoid damage for shipment. Its only great for protecting reeds that are no used. Those cases to not prevent warping after usage!

[@Deadpool-sm5kw]

Hello im getting a clarinet and i just braces and also i have a flute and sax and i want to know if my braces will bother the reed/mouthpiece

[@sophiacarrillo5977]

Deadpool 657 It won't bother the reed

[@Deadpool-sm5kw]

Thanks

[@khalifmuhammad2100]

ya it wont bother,but once u get braces off it will be like you forgot to play

[@TV-ny8rb]

oh!

[@Marie-qv6on]

Why am I watching this. I’ve played guitar for 3 years and I’ve never touched a clarinet before.

[@jazzycarman9122]

That poor reed😂😂

[@micahelagriffin8366]

What do I is I loose my reed case

[@micahelagriffin8366]

Thanks :)

[@sarahg6458]

You should have two and if not, they are available at stores

[@nightwolf1073]

I have a question my clarinet all of the cork is gone can get that replaced?

[@gammerxygames4302]

Myla Lewis yes u can I'm in 6th grade band and the rental guy came but I have my own clarinet my cork is gone and he replaced it

[@haileygreenaway3442]

you should never keep your reeds in the case they come in. always by a nice case that can hold your reeds. this is important because the case they come in is not sturdy and cant protect it

[@samaysj9269]

Wait for the clarinet if you don't have a reed case what do I do?

[@TigequenChan]

Samay Sj It's ok. You don't really need a reed case. Just make sure you have a safe place to put your reed without it breaking. But if you put it in your case make sure to wipe your reed so it doesn't collect mold.

[@bunardtv3204]

im keeping me reed in a safe kase iven if they are broken

[@maryuncensord7424]

The only reson im watching this is because i have ti wach this for homework
