Clarinet Lesson: Clarinet Overtones and polyphonics

[LondonClarinetist]

love it man

[RipzOnNubes]

that's really good. try adding the high B and high C in the overtone series while still using the low E fingering.

[JoeGancher]

Can't here anything !! Most of the world is on laptops now and you can never record too loud !!

What is your set-up

[lolcatsaregay]

i could barely hear you with everything turned up. however i could easily hear your clarinet and it was nice.

LOL, seems like a great way to make a lot of enemies if you live in an apartment !!

[mdwallin]

this is great for developing a good tone. Many people seem to overlook tone. This is perfect. long notes and overtones!!

For clarinet AND sax.

I actually believe this is a CENTRAL exercise to learning the instrument, since you understand its tone and color by going straight to the heart of it and directly manipulating it. And music is nothing if not for tone and color. And besides the seemingly absurd fingerings of the altissimo range begin to make sense in this context. Just being able to hear the 12th from the low to mid registers alone will dramatically increase your tone. This is an exercise about TONE, not a cheap trick.

good skill.

Ha I have been playing polyphonics for years but I never knew it had a name, I was just doing it because it sounds funny. Thank God for better musicians than me :-p

[chordscollide]

my lesson teacher showed me this. i find it helps with altissimo tone, and like you said, throat and air control. i've been experimenting with mixing this and glissing. so like starting at a high overtone and bending it all the way down evenly. some fingerings it works alright...but if you ever try it out let me know...it works particularly well on the alternate high F (finger a G/D and then add the top A key)

I'm brazilian, very good the video.

[flutejunkiie]

haha yea i did play sax first.

[flutejunkiie]

umm i think you should leave this exerscise to the flutes..coming from a sax,clarinet ,flute player

[xcracer2]

lemme gues...you played sax first, then clar and flute????

You'd be surprised how important these things are to a clarinetist.

[InsaneSparrow]
