Clarinet - The 5-Note Scale (C D E F G)

[@gordonmckillop9039]

This is a terrific series! I am now retired and I am a new learner -at age 61 - and the instructions are easy to follow. The added "sheet music" is a great way to also learn how to read music. The presenter is very clear and each lesson is in a small, manageable bite so the experience is not overwhelming.

[@jamesshoup3274]

I am 55 yo, I have never played a wind instrument in my life picked up a clarinet cheap and intact and I am very excited to learn with you

[@ashtonsph]

It's my first year in band! It's wood winds and yesterday we wrote our instrument choices I picked 1. Clarinet 2. Bass clarinet 3. Flute I hope I get 1 of the clarinets lol

[@Bobjenner1787]

DancingIcecream123 how'd you do?what'd you get?

[@duskydawn670]

THANKYOU SO MUCH!!! I Got my clarinet today and this helped SO MUCH!

[@mycrazyfamilyid]

Please do more videos! I have a clarinet book but seeing and hearing someone play the notes makes me remember them better. You're the only one I can find that shows what to do in such detail.

[@celesticforce2367]

I play flute, and I'm learning clarinet....it's hard to get the note right. It squeaks a lot.

[@lisalewis362]

Your videos are so helpful my 4th grader is doing so much better now with practice and these videos to refer to for help, also helped this mama learn more so i could help her. Thanks!

[@marknewman9085]

Many thanks. We're supposed to be making sure that our 7 year old practices daily, and learning the basics ourselves really helps!

[@GracieAnimations]

Oh my goodness! This helps so much! I am a flutist in 8th grade band, and I wanted to teach myself to play an old clarinet we have, in ONE HOUR I LEARNED HOW TO PLAY! Awesome!

[@ekemereamarachi804]

Mr Selfridge, you really made my day, thanks. Things that are irritating to me while practicing, you made it simple. Thank God for you

[@karlaronquillo2982]

thanks I just got my clarinet today and I learned so much thank you for the tutorials thank you and have a good day hope I learn more

[@bobbymobay]

When you play the "G" what is keeping the Clarinet from falling on the floor?

[@ToxicSmoke]

Bobby Mobay Also, your teeth are supporting the clarinet

[@rbond708]

I got a clarinet for Christmas and your videos have taught me so much already! You're a great teacher, thank you so much! I'd love to learn how to play the rest of the notes by your videos too, they're really helpful so it would be much appreciated if you made more in the near future! Hope you had a lovely Christmas and have a happy new year!

[@Admin-jo1pn]

I play trumpet and am learning how to play clarinet for fun. It is amusing to see the notereading be a subject that is gone over a lot of times in these videos. But it is a necessity, keep practicing all you beginners out there, it gets easier.

[@blueoasis9708]

Thank you Mr. Selfridge. I searched and searched for someone to show the fingering in relationship to the notes and I found you. THANK YOU! That is what a beginner needs that most overlook.

[@tiktok-ec9id]

[@RahulSingh-eq4id]

[@Bubbles367]

Dear MrSelfridge , do you possibly know what im doing wrong if it keeps making a really high pitched screech instead of a calm note like above? I personally don't think its my blowing... but who knows! please respond asap!!!! :( And I cant wait to hear you opinion!!! :)

[@1UPMushroom]

+Brooklyn McLaren I don't know if you solved your problem or gave up but have you mouth on the tip of the read not having the entire reed in the mouth (sounds gay I know but I am being serious here) make sure your not blowing too hard. If that doesn't work than let me know. BEFORE YOU ASK THIS DOES SOUND GAY HOWEVER I AM NOT GAY. Sorry there are rude people on the internet

[@Bubbles367]

I cant read what u commentes

[@1UPMushroom]

well I cant help

[@alondragonzalez1354]

[@Ethan-wj2rt]

Great VIdeo! Helped a lot considering I just got my clarinet!

[@karlalei5331]

I bought a slightly used Jupiter bb flat clarinet yesterday for $200, was it a good deal? It's in perfect condition other then one small air hole but as long as I press down hard enough it covers it.

[@1ivyfallorbit]

Karla A Personally I wouldn't pay that little for a clarinet because there might be more problems. Get it checked out in a shop

[@marktawney9633]

Dear MrSelfridge may i suggest that you please show how to play an easy beginner song up close so i can see what it is you are teaching, thank you.

[@leanneaguis3337]

[@aileendaya]

Is your clarinet Bb clarinet? What’s the difference in playing with the A or E or alto. Which one should be the better type for beginner? Thanks.

[@paolaa3702]

Thank you very much this is very helpful!

[@piggiecentral3796]

thanks so much you helped me pass my test!

[@emmabao5926]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@teckiemom]

I've been off clarinet for 30 years (played for 10 years previously) and have lost a lot of mobility in my left hand due to surgery but are considering picking it back up again to see what I can get back. It's either that or go back to saxophone again which I miss playing almost as much. Most of the muscle loss will be just on the left thumb as the base of the thumb joint is partially fused to the socket, but think it might not be too bad considering the "F" key is a pretty stable position that doesn't require dealing any side keys on the clarinet, or the octave key on the sax. At least I hope so... #FingersCrossed. Any suggestions on ways to loosen up that left thumb? I used to have a fantastic range and could easily hold even high notes well over 30 seconds. It will take quite a while to get back to that if at all (these old lungs ain't what they used to be). I still have my Luyben Ligature and insist on top of the line mouthpieces & high quality reeds I cure myself so that should help.

[@arianalopez5342]

omg i learned it in class then i was like what the heck did i just learn then my brother looked it up and these really helped me thank u

[@gregaizi]

I am 55 yo and never played any instruments and I want to play some melodies for hobby. What wind instrument is easier to learn and play?

Thanks Wow It helped alot wooowowowowoowow. Im still learning

[@paulroybal3430]

Dear Mr.Selfridge, Is your tongue supposed to touch the reed or not when you play?

[@tierrabrown8048]

yes It has to touch the reed

[@hughmunges3751]

[@rahulgaurav7638]

Sir,I am planning to buy a clarinet. I have budget issues.Could you suggest a few brands to look for while buying a clarinet which can serve the purpose decently.I am looking for all purpose and one time buy in moderate range.

[@pendancer4994]

Rahul Gaurav Used instruments are a good deal. Yamaha is a pretty good brand. Also Selmer

[@thaliarose8741]

Hi, I'm in my 40s, do you think I can learn clarnet? my domain is vocals

[@DevinSeeleyDevilO]

please make a chromatic scale for the clarinet

[@Karadok91]

why all tutorials on youtube show f-sharp as only index finger on the upper hole and f for only Thumb on the lower hole? On my clarinet this sound extremely strange and all fingering patterns i find are different from this. I'm trying to teach the clarinet to myself with online lessons/videos and its extremely hard to understand, why they all have a fingering, thats different from mine. Its especially hard, because noone writes, if he is using an a or a b clarinet. Or are there even other kinds in US or UK? I'd appreciate, if someone could tell me, why all fingering shards say "Thumb+Index-Finger+third keay (right hand) = F" and all tutorials say only thumb is f ? for me it's very confusing and I find no explanation :(

[@alisha5316]

I'm in marching band and our notes are lower than that. how would we play those low notes??

[@1ivyfallorbit]

Destiny Artist best advice- get a fingering chart

[@pendancer4994]

Destiny Artist I would suggest getting the book "Foundations for a superior performance" it shows all the notes and fingering chart and has all the scales and exercises in that key signature

[@sherbyluma2289]
