Clarinet air support tips

[@spachtlikspagetka3409]

Hello, I have been looking into breathin control and exercises and this is exactly what I needed. Not only you included exercises without clarinet, but I found playing staccato with using the breath support only rather challenging. Thank you for making these videos, they are very helpful!

I never knew nor ever was told to inhale like YAWNING until I read of a VOCAL TRAINING technique which explained how to YAWN along with the Ahh sylable to easily open the jaw & throat! I've watched many videos about clarinet & sax techniques & rarely see a teacher mention YAWNING when inhaling!

Btw folks, I really recommend Selin if you want to have online clarinet lessons. She’s the best teacher around. 100%

😍thank you🙏🏻

[@rdquintas]

Hey Selin, amazing explanation. Wish I had seen this many years ago when I started playing the clarinet. You really know how to explain these concepts in a clear and funny way. 😀 Looking forward to have our online lesson tomorrow.

Thank you so much Ricardo! I'm happy that I work with people like you who enjoys my way of teaching 😅🙏🏻 see you tomorrow!

Raymond Lacroix je vous en prie! Bon travail 😊

This is really the best explanation for engaging the diaphragm that I have come across. The profile views were very helpful. Thanks

Bravo… good mentoring! Mashallah! Lol

[@burakmentes]

Whats your suggestion about the last exc with clarinet how many minutes done?

Burak Menteş I was practicing it even an hour but if it’s too much you should do it at least 15 minutes or so :)

[@danielpena209]

Eres muy bonita Thank you for all 😊

Daniel Peña have a nice practice 😊

[@deltunelargo4864]

I Play the Contra Clarinets, do the Same Principles apply to them? At my School we weren't taught air Support correctly, so It's something I'm finding almost Impossible to do, would you happen to have any advice for learning to support my air?

[@jimis3167]

Have you ever tried the new Tradition and Legende from Buffet?

Georgia Antza yes! but it’s not my type of sound

[@jimis3167]

@ What difference they have in sound between the Privilege? Do they have less easy highs? Tell me about them.

[@burakmentes]

Selin hocam tekrar merhaba ve yine bir sorum var 😅. Hocam biraz zor uflenen bir bekim var ben onu calip kendi bekime gectigimde sesler daha acik volumlu geliyor. Nasil bir calisma yapmami onerirsiniz. İyi aksamlar dilerim

[@Adrian-f2d]

hi selin,i have a question,how much time we need to do this exercise on a day?how much minutes?

It depends on you! I’d suggest around 20-25 minutes per day. But you can do it a couple times a day, too

[@zvonimirtosic6171]

Proper air support is the key for circular breathing too.

[@ilkaymuslu235]

can it be the disadvantage of using air support to breath more often during your performance ? to my understanding some of the air still stays inside of your lungs ?

[@burakmentes]

Selin hocam selamlar. Ben sadece karnima nefes alip ufluyorum. Uflerken diyafram kasinida kullanmam mi gerekiyor. Yani karnina nefes al ufle degil herhalde konu.umarim anlatabilmisimdir 😅

Her halukarda nefesi akciğere alıyoruz. Ancak diyafram kasını dışarı iterek nefes almalı ve nefesi verirken de kası dışarı itmeye devam etmeliyiz.

[@burakmentes]

Tesekkurler yanit icin hocam. Selamlar 👍👍

Hi, Selin. Thanks for your video. I don’t really think , that it’s a good idea always to push your muscles. On my opinion air has to come naturally. Of course diaphragm works really hard at this moment, but you don’t have to push something. Just think about fast and focus air that comes through your resonators in mouth , nose and head.

Oleg Shebeta-Dragan Hello :) I really think you should always think to push the abs out until it becomes a reflex. This is what I do and I’m happy with my air support and my tone, plus I see good results with my students when they apply it. Anyways diaphragm can’t push the air out, it’s the other muscles between ribs doing it! Diaphragm is only there for the support, so it should stay stable at the same place. PS: I just wrote an article about diaphragm breathing for my PhD so I searched all the sources I could find and I could talk about it more if you wish 😅🙏🏻

[@olegshebeta-dragan847]

@ I don't agree, but thanks for your answer

[@AlvinsThoughts]

I understand your point Oleg but maybe you explain how you can only think about air but not activate it???

[@yelloworangered]

WHen you breath out, you hide your belly with your arm. What are you trying to explain, please? That the stomach continues to stick out while you breath out?

[@ninjaaron]

I was thinking you look exactly like someone I follow on Instagram, but it's actually just you. XD

Hahah hello then 😂

[@AlvinsThoughts]

Oh good with my like it became 130 and there is only 1 dislike. Cool🙄

☆Alvin Anverowski☆ thank you😇 well, there’s always one dislike or so... not really important, it’s part of it :)
