  • Hey i think your pretty good im 12 and i have been playing the clarinet for 2 years i started the instrument in the 6th grade and i played from the exact same book is it the essential elements 2000 book? Because thats the book i played from and i played mary had a little lamb too!! That's when i first learned the notes but shes good for a 9 year old. Does she play in her school band???

  • @xXsarahXx1011 Yes, she did learn from Essential Elements 2000, and she does play in the school band, although now she has now added saxophone and drums to the instruments hse plays. She's 12 now, too! Good luck to you with the clarinet!

  • @mimoglay thank you, what school does she do to? good luck to her on her sax,drums,clarinet

  • @xXsarahXx1011 Hey, I'm 12 years old now and i played the clarinet for 2 years also. I did play from the essential elements 2000 book too. I also played when i went to the 6th grade. And I'm in a band. I'm sorry but I'm on my brothers page. But that is so cool.

  • shes alright for a beginner what book does she play from

  • @TheCrazyfrog151 -- Her school uses Essential Elements 2000, which she is now using for saxophone, too.

  • Thanks to everyone who posted comments on this video, especially to those who gave encouraging words or helpful tips. My daughter is now 11 and has continued with music, but she switched to alto sax. She now has a very cool female saxophone-major college student as a teacher who has been a great role model for her. However, she still picks up her grandfathers clarinet and plays it occasionally. To have the skill to make music is a wonderful thing--good luck to all beginning players!

  • I've been playing for 8 days and I'm already better than a nine year old.

    I feel so accomplished with my life.

  • when you played mary had a little lamb you weren't supposed to stop breathing just to stop it just tap the reed with your tongue

  • you were sluring not touging

  • on mary had a little lamb and hot cross buns, u slurred when ur supposed to tongue. i'm awesome at the clarinet and i've been playing for a year

  • u slurred on hot cross uns and ur supposed to tongue

  • Ive Been Playing For About 6.. Months Maybe. I Still Squeak. So Dont Get All Fussy With Her About It. Very Good For Such Littl eTime To Play :) And Also (On Your Hot Cross Buns) You SLered your NOtes When Your Suppose To Tounge...

    Very Well Though :) Keep Trying!

  • I started clarinet at your age, you're doing great, for only one month in... Also consider clapping the rhythm before you play, to help you know what that rhythm pattern is without having to worry about are you playing the correct notes... Good job, now practice your rhythms; and your notes/tones. GREAT JOB!

  • you are doing a good job 4 just starting!

  • That's really good for being only 9 years old keep it up!!

  • Don't listen to the people saying you're not good, you remind me of when I first started! Except, I was wayyyy worse! lol. But just practice, practice makes perfect sweetie! You'll be a pro at clarinet in no time!

  • lol. take private lessons its better then school lessons but expensive(thats y i dont take em any more) i ended up 1st chair in the fith grade band while in 4th grade and also always first chair. i think u might need to tighten your musscles around the mouth ;)

  • my teacher taught me those notes and put them together and i figured out in like a minute it was hot cross buns

  • You remind me of my first few days. LOL

    now im in my 2nd year and can play lots of great songs :)

    yepp...keep practicing! and make sure to not have your mouth too far down on the mouth piece but still good..

  • you are good for only playing for a month!

  • you were prety good. just practice more and toungue more of your notes. i am a clarinet player also and it takes some time to get used to it. so remember, practice!!

  • bad amachor plus u r taking breaths when u should play it all out plus u r squeking 2 much that means u r taking 2 much mouth piece

  • Stop singings the notes we get it. Just play. and practice more. lots more

  • play higher octave

  • you remind me on mi first 3 days. I got the hang of it totaly bi 2 months. Now I'm in Symphonic band at mi school. Anyways, keep up the good work

  • lol that brings me back to when i started....

    keep up the good work though.and soon you could start shredding on it like i do!!

  • you might want to not let the clarinet come out so much.. it loosens the embouchure, causing squeaks =)

  • Ok stop singing us the notes,and play. Wow,over blowing and some squeaks...but you just started...so GL later on.

  • i played the trumpet at and then i switched to clarinet and it took me two days two learn all of the notes

  • you are a natural player you just need a little more practice, a little squeaking there too, otherwise you were great!

  • lol.i was queaking like that when i first started band practice...keep it up thats good work!

  • LOL, you remind me of me when I first started playing the clarinet.

    Nice, you do squeak a little, but it's natural for beginners, keep up the good effort, and before you know it, you'll be playing extremely long songs ((which is what I'm doing at the moment...yay?)_
