How to Teach Proper Air Support for Clarinetists | Backun Educator Series

[@AlphaxZero28]

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.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this video, thanks for watching!

No u

[@cadence649]

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

[@backunmusical]

Thanks for watching glad it helped!

[@Antonella-n9e]

No she didnt

[@tacobell2058]

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!

[@maciemarquette9171]

It works I have been trying to improve my sound of airiness because do have a chair test. soon and this worked Thank you 😊

[@celpro-senpai5239]

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!

[@Incrizzable]

[@krissol3881]

It works! Thank you!

[@immaslept8035]

very good advice! thank you!

[@erwl8255]

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?

[@zachfryar1820]

It might actually be your reed

[@zachfryar1820]

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

[@erwl8255]

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

[@zachfryar1820]

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👍

[@zachfryar1820]

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

[@kwcnasa]

Practice @7:20 try this,

[@tracyshelton5599]

have you ever had a student with Mild Asthma? i like playing but lose my air between each line? what do you recommend? is it common to have asthmatic students who enjoy playing

[@zozzystudio]

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

[@brendareed8412]

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?

[@ereznaveh3303]

What clarinet should I buy? What factory made them best?

[@Antonella-n9e]

Ummm a clarinet that works

[@pg_krampus5489]

I’m trying to pass off my scales rn in 9th bc if I don’t imma fail and imma get demoted into concert band

[@Antonella-n9e]

My friend sucks at it still

[@uukevinoo]
