John, Thank you. I am a 62 year old jazz singer-guitarist who is beginning clarinet. This helped a lot. I've taught guitar for many years and I feel fortunate - and humbled- to recollect the "beginner's" mind. Thanks again and good luck to all of your students. Peace
Just turned 71 and decided I'd like to learn to play a woodwind instrument and my grandson gave up on his clarinet. Your video instruction is a great first step. I can show up for my first lesson tomorrow already able to play the basic scale. You are saving me money by covering some basic information so I can hit the deck running - THANKS!
Thank you such I am about to be playing clarinet this year and I didn't know how to put the clarinet together again thank you and may god be with you and blesses your heart!!!👧
Thank you so much Mr. Wright! your video was such a big help... m just beginning to learn how to produce a sound in my clarinet. m on my third day now. I've watched a couple of tutz out there, but yours just help me a lot specially on proper embouchure....
Nice video! I'm sorely tempted to buy a clarinet I recently saw in a 2nd hand store for $50. Learning sax is on my bucket list (well, clarinet has a reed, too, right?). I got an alo recorder last year but it's so hard not to overblow the low notes; you have to play at a whisper :-(
Thx so much 4 the vid was very informative now i feel confident 2 start playing 4 the 1st time my clarinet once again peace & love 2 all in 2020...🎼🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶
excelente video me gusto que esta muy bien explicado. he visto varios videos y en ninguno abian explicado la forma de poner la boquilla yo lo estaba armando mal y tratando de sacar sonido mal tambien. muchas gracias
Loosely hang the ligature over the mouthpiece BEFORE carefully slipping the reed UNDER the ligature & against the mouthpiece table. Adjust reed then tighten ligature screws. This will prevent accidently nicking the reed if you put the ligature on AFTER setting the reed to the MP.
i know you probably know by now but i'm just saying for other people it takes time for you to be able to produce a proper sound as you need to learn the correct mouth positions, the angle of the clarinet and also the amount of air you need to use when blowing so you can't expect to be able to produce a proper sound straight away just keep trying :)
Can someone please help me? I played a g, without any figuring, but got a F, exact. to a E. Is there something wrong with my clarinet or is there way I can tune to a g?
You need the lightly SMILE at the corners of your mouth to help the THROAT TONES play up to pitch. He is doing this with his mouth but somehow fails to tell you exactly what he is doing with his mouth.
He fails to mention how to use & BLOW from the DIAPHRAGM muscle inside your MID SECTION to produce the rich, sold, clear sound that he is producing. Producing an air steam with & from your DIAPHRAGM is the most important & significant element of good horn playing & also good SINGING. An entire video should be offered on this subject. His sound is coming from his DIAPHRAGM muscle, not just from his CHEST muscles.
Just got my first clarinet. 69 year old man will try and play a gift from my son and daughter in law. Excellent video. Easy to follow.

Hey Mr.Wright, I love the clarinet, your an awesome teacher, love the band class. From your student in MS band clarinet in 6th chair.

You need to lightly WET the cork joints, in your mouth, after greasing them, BEFORE pressing them into the other joint.
