I play a double lip on clarinet, also play oboe too. I use this little white plastic mold I got off Amazon for like 10-12 bucks. It works wonders for me! I got for long playing sessions because of it! 🥰 love your playing Doreen!
I started playing the clarinet and i owe you for that. I love the instrument and i love the music you play. Now im learning the scales and now im dedicated. Thank you.
I don't know you but i can tell God gave you a kind soul and a wonderful gift. Continue to give thanks to God and your pure soul will do the rest! You will be fruitful!
Because cigarette paper is kinda pricey, I use parchment paper (piece of baking sheet). 😆 And I put it over my top teeth since I play double lip. 💖 the Queen! Great to see you back in your home.
I play double lip too. When I try to put my top teeth on my armature gets too loose 💦 everywhere. I bite my bottom lip too. Great advice Ms. Doreen. Because of this I usually take a couple days break in between me playing.
Hi Doreen! I play clarinet in my High School band and I've noticed that when playing for a long time, the knuckle that connects to the thumb on my right hand starts to feel some pain. Is there any way I can combat this? Thanks
Hey, Anderson, I know I’m not Doreen but I’m also a fellow clarinet player and I’m in a few ensembles and symphonies. I would suggest two things: The first, try using a neck strap to take some of the pressure off of the thumb. The second: use a thumb grip which is a nice, squishy object you can put on the clarinet to reduce the “stabbing” or “pushing” feeling on the knuckle. I hope I’m of some help!
Hi Anderson, both iRqx and jonny boy are correct. You can also try adjusting (if you can), the thumb rest. Sometimes, switching positions relives the tension on the joints. An ice pack will also help. There are some made for the thumb and fingers. If it starts to hurt while your playing, just temporarily, rest the bell on your knees to get through the session. Hope this helps too.
I learned from Paradise Winds Dr Stefanie Gardner that when you pull your right hand away from your clarinet, the tips of your index finger and thumb should touch for correct hand position. If they don’t, adjust your thumb rest so they do. My hand feels so much better now. Now I can’t believe I managed to play all those years with my wrist cocked.😊
I noticed that lifting the clarinet higher also helps. It's not common classical practice and may impact your playing if you're not use to it. I found it helps a lot.
I want to be more like Doreen. She’s perfect.

Thank you Donal!
That's what she said!
Cigarette paper works well, but I have always used parafilm instead because it's thicker. Then again, I suppose it's a matter of personal preference.
Oh that is a great idea I play saxophone and whenever I’m done playing it feels like part of my lip is gone
Another Fantastic performance 👍👍🙌🙌🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳🥳👏👏👏👏❣️❣️❣️💕💕💰💰💰💰💰💰yes!!

Dang. I wish that I had known that trick in college.
My clarinet instructor suggested floral tape for this.
The queen ❤️🔥
Can you talk about why you choose not to do world tours? Aside from the travel restrictions now. What are your reasons?
Glad to hear your ok!
Miss you much. Catch you on Royal St. real soon.
Faites nous plaisir Doreen....👍un bonjour de la France...
I play the violin and jeez you sound Great 👍👍👍👍👍
Love you and your music 🥰🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼
Love you Doreen
one word "WoW
She would give Bechet a run for his money
If you see this, I am struggling with my altissimo notes. Do you have any tips on working on them/getting them to resonate
We're hoping to bring our food stand to Mardi Gras, stop by we would love to feed you.
I use white floral tape when playing tenor sax. It’s lightly waxed so it doesn’t break down.
Very interesting! 🌟🎵🌟
😳 SUS title
And she liked it what a goat
Wow! The best clarinet player is a black lady from Louisiana!! Who Dat?

When I was younger nothing hurt. Now my wrists and thumb hurt when I play for more than an hour.
