Thank you Doreen! I've been trying to figure out how to growl on my sax, and all of the sax videos for it sucked, but I finally got it after watching you. It's something they don't teach in those boring band classes.
I’m so happy I came across your comment, I’ve been trying to learn on my alto and you’re correct the sax videos aren’t very helpful on here. Also, let’s me honest, who else would you want to teach you how to growl? Doreen is perfect
it's ironic. and i love the sound of the sax too, i switched to clarinet from flute, it seems much easier., the other day it was very nice in Ohio on Wednesday evening, and i went outside to practice, later one of the teens was dropped off and their dad thought i was playing the sax., i dont know if thats a compliment.. maybe it is ?
Ms Doreen I never knew a clarinet could sound like that until the first time I ran across you playing, (House of the rising sun) on Royal street in 2017, the beautiful sound coming from your clarinet picked me up out of my shoes. Thank you Ms doreen I respect you greatly🙏🏾
New fan here. I bought a new clarinet to replace my old one from my childhood and i have to relearn everything. But I’m okay with that. With excellent teachers like her I’ll be just fine
I don't play the clarinet and probably never will, but I just wanted to hear this woman talk, and now that I'm here I could stay for hours. You're so sweet and inspiring!
I don’t even play a clarinet but enjoy listening to your lessons. I appreciate your skill,talent, and the soul of your music! Thank you for sharing. That growl sounds so cool!
Your heart is as beautiful as your playing. Been doing the Spanish R or flutter tongue growl for a long time on my tenor sax. I’ve never seen the technique taught or explained as you have here in this video. I am a new fan of yours. Found you from watching some Leo P videos and your House of the Rising Sun popped up. Instantly hooked! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
It's just so amazing. I'm a really rubbish player, but I play in a band each week and finding you and your videos, it's just so inspiring. You put joy into the world ❤️
I'm a hobbyist. My cousin is a music student and he taught me flutter tonguing (spanish R), to practice tonguing as well as learning the pressure required for the reed to make a rich tone.
I grew up in Lafayette and that tone was frowned upon by my HS music teacher. Thankfully I had many cousins in the New Orleans bands and they made sure I was good. Thanks for teaching the style.
I was in many different school bands, all the way from Germany to Canada to multiple US states, nowhere ever even mentioned a clarinet could sound like this let alone teach how to achieve it. Idk how Lafayette is now, but when I graduated we were extremely hardcore straight to point no waisting time, play it as it's meant to be played. Which was very interesting to me that Louisiana of all places I felt the least freeing my music and the most "judged" in a bad way while playing
You're a precious lady! I love your gentle spirit about you! You know and recognize where your gift to play the clarinet comes from. It comes from above, from God Almighty Himself! God bless you and keep playing!
Ms. Ketchens, Sista Gurl... i'm so glad i found you.. YOU is THE Bomb. Truly. You get my flowers while you're still here. True story: a couple of months ago, after i had bought a cheap flute and was looking for lesson info on UA-cam.. you came up on the sidebar (playing "House of the Rising Sun") and when i heard that "Growl.." and how you do the damn thang... i was like "Dat's dat Sh!t, right there".. you brought me to a Louis Armstrong Satchmo place.. i clicked off UA-cam, and Googled you, to do more and more research on this Doreen Queen. After that i knew flute wasn't my cup of tea.. I never dug blowing into the hole and holding the instrument off to the side, i just wasn't ready to go far with that. So i moved on, and got into those mini-saxes with a Reed (oh no, a Reed), the first of 2 i have, is made of Bamboo. i had my initial nightmares.. getting my embouchure right.. Then went on a vacation, to ... The Philippines.. & just happened to be in a music store one day.. and saw a Clarinet sitting there.. it was "Calling" me.. so i bought it... and it's been love at first sight.. Again, at first the reed playing was a struggle. & in my search for the right Reed, i found a store in Manila (Musicgear Manila), and the good people in there have everything Clarinet that you could ask for. I got the reeds and mouthpiece that made a ton of difference for me. & the Ligature: BG Duo is my soulmate. Plus they told me about a guy who gives lessons.. & dig this (blessing from above, when you know God has stepped in the room) that guy LIVES IN THE SAME BUILDING i was staying at.. after just 2 lessons, my embouchure/reed issue was past history.. But, i feel like you and your whole bag of Doreen Ketchens wonderfulness.. planted this seed.. & i must say, you are inspirational. God bless you. Keep Growling baby.. & thanks for this short how to... Now i'm Growling with you.. Peace
Happy belated birthday 🥳 to my absolute favorite queen. Once Covid is over I so want to come see and play with you 🥰🥰🥰🥰 You are truly an inspiration to many but especially African American females. I can tell you how much I listen to you! I also play jazz and would love to collaborate one day! A few friends of mine and I are planing a road trip after Covid but we will email you first 🤗promise 🤗. Truly blessed to have you to look up to!!!!!!
Thank you so much! I JUST discovered your channel. I want to play my clarinet again, and haven't hardly touched it for the past 20 years, but I'm in an apartment unfortunately. I used to know how to growl, and completely forgot, and this retaught me. Now I just need to find a time and place to play.
Doreen, i dont have any money right now, but i swear i will donate to your venmo. i have loved your playing for so long, and its so inspiring. ive just gotten back into playing. i played for 6 years, stopped for 4, and now i'm back at it. i'm trying to have fun with it and i've always wanted to learn how you did this technique on house of the rising sun. i appreciate you putting this information out for free. you are so amazing.
I had to leave Lake Charles due to the hurricane 🌀 and I moved to New Orleans, then Ida came. But music like yours keeps me going and brings back hope for my hometowns in rough times.
I love that you’re putting out lessons!!!! I’ve been watching you for years and you’ve inspired me to play clarinet again. Thank you for adding your incredible beauty to the world.
Omfg I have been playing with the growl and I didn't even know it I do that when I practice scales I do it all the time im good at something I didn't even know I was doing
Hi. This is the first time I'm watching you. I love your personality. Thanks for the lessons. The PayPal is on the flip-side.... well, we will figure it out. Cheers.
Hey Doreen...Your Magnificence...I have no problem doing the "rrrrrr" until I put the clarinet in my mouth. Can't make it happen with single lip, only quickly switching to double, which is impractical. Any ideas? I'll save your answer for the lesson. I'll be in touch.
Hello Doreen! The spanish r... do you roll it back of your tongue or the front? I'd always thought the front was fluttertongue, and have never managed to roll an r from the back. Front of the tongue rolling has given me trouble with air volume before... I should try it again. maybe with House of the Rising Sun. Third way I know about is humming a note off from what you're playing.
Mrs Doreen, I absolutely love how you play! It is just so extremely unique your playing is! As a string player, I know nothing about clarinet 😂 but I always enjoy watching your videos! God bless you!
Hello Darlin, Here From Ohio.. watching your clarinet lessons. i had to stop taking lessons being that i had a scheduling conflict / and drs appointments, but take my lessons from a gentlemen from Tennessee he started doing zoom classes with his student's during the pandemic and it's been still going, his name is Mr. Borchers, i switched to clarinet because it's so much easier than the flute, in my opinion.,i know this video is old but curious if you'd be doing any recent lessons? for this year?... i plan to re-apply for some liberal arts universities in Ohio, for their music programs , i also play Irish Tin Whistle or anything with holes? i guess. any who. i stumbled upon your channel, i hope it's ok. i'm still a beginner but i am the type that can pick up my instrument and play a song. i n ever learned, i love the house of rising sun.. can you do a tutorial on that song Ms. Doreen?
Hi, Queen! Thank you very much for this video! This content is very interesting!!! So, I'm trying learn use a paypal... I hope can support a little bit.
Hi! What vowel are you thinking to get your throat together to growl on altissimo notes? That’s where I’m losing it and it just can’t figure out how to structure my airstream/throat/back of tongue for this. Ee hasn’t been helping.
Oh man i have a really bad R pronunciation. Do you think It would impact this technique? I am now away from my clarinet and cant try this out untill next week :'(((
Thank you Doreen! I've been trying to figure out how to growl on my sax, and all of the sax videos for it sucked, but I finally got it after watching you. It's something they don't teach in those boring band classes.

Ms Doreen the sign is still backwards. Just letting you know 🥰 I wrote it down the right way though! Much love ❤️
Lesson starts at 3:50
Just learning who Doreen is. What a musician and just all round genuine person. Where have I been?
New fan here. I bought a new clarinet to replace my old one from my childhood and i have to relearn everything. But I’m okay with that. With excellent teachers like her I’ll be just fine
My mind melted the first time I heard you play.
I don't play the clarinet and probably never will, but I just wanted to hear this woman talk, and now that I'm here I could stay for hours. You're so sweet and inspiring!

Instantly hooked! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
tenor sax is a beautiful instrument! i hope you have been learning the spanish r and flutter toungue well!
Why does that growling sounds give me goose bumps😅
Thank you for this! I have been trying to learn how to growl for so long so I am going to try your method and hopefully it works!
It's just so amazing. I'm a really rubbish player, but I play in a band each week and finding you and your videos, it's just so inspiring. You put joy into the world ❤️
Such a lovely person, you're the best clarinetist I've ever had the chance to listen to!
I'm a hobbyist. My cousin is a music student and he taught me flutter tonguing (spanish R), to practice tonguing as well as learning the pressure required for the reed to make a rich tone.
clarinet player here!! You posted this on my birthday :D I'm finally picking my clarinet back up after 3 years. Thank you for this!!

Ma’am the paypal sign is still on the flipside
I think it was alright until this video😂
@@Text.__. Yeah, Doreen you had it right all along
when she went "here it is again" i just died laughing 😂😂😂😂 what a legend
The spanish R sounds a litle more rounded and full imo. Love you Doreen! Thank you so much for making these videos!
I don't even play or have a clarinet, but I enjoy hearing your lessons!!!
Happy birthday Doreen!
You're a precious lady! I love your gentle spirit about you!
You know and recognize where your gift to play the clarinet comes from. It comes from above, from God Almighty Himself!

Doreen! Greetings from Israel! One of my students was struggling with learning how to growl and I shared this video with her. Thank you so much.
When you went up in the range growling, my Golden started howling big time ❤️
大変わかりやすく、簡単にできるようになりました！感謝です
Nice volume in this video! So glad you're still hanging in there with this danged pandemic.
They don't sound the same. The roll is so much cleaner and strong.
You have a beautiful sound! With or without the growl. Keep swingin!
I had to leave Lake Charles due to the hurricane 🌀 and I moved to New Orleans, then Ida came. But music like yours keeps me going and brings back hope for my hometowns in rough times.
I growl on my Clarinet by letting a little sloppy air out on the right side of my reed. I learned how to do it on the Saxophone first...
music has been making me cry lately....hellooooo from Sactown SACRAMENTO sis Doreen.....#imaflutist... u made me cry touching precious tears!!!
Cc 33
This was super helpful! I was able to learn how to do it! Thanks Doreen! God Bless You!

Hey Doreen...Your Magnificence...I have no problem doing the "rrrrrr" until I put the clarinet in my mouth. Can't make it happen with single lip, only quickly switching to double, which is impractical.
Any ideas? I'll save your answer for the lesson. I'll be in touch.

Doreen you play beautifully and you have such a kind soul. God bless you ❤️
Thank you so much!
I have a lot of respect for you.☀️☀️☀️
