The Beatles cover - When I'm Sixty-Four (clarinet)

[lpye2006]

hey, where did you get the sheet music from?

[sportaabby10]

U rock at the clarinet. In band at BMS I play the clarinet. Last year i had to play bass clarinet and hated it. (I like b flat better)

[DTrinh09]

@sportaabby10 Isn't bass clarinet in the key of Bb, but you just play in bass clef instead of treble?

[thedolphinkid8]

@DTrinh09 bass clarinet is in Bb but its an octave lower than the normal clarinet. Its still in treble clef

[HollenZellis]

@sportaabby10 Bass clarinet is in B flat...and to DTrinh09 it's also in treble clef =P maybe you guys are talking about a contrabass clarinet?

[Axartsme]

@HollenZellis Yeah. The only difference between the two is Bass Clarinet is an octave lower.

[2awesome4u5]

This is good! Good job. But the sound you are giving off sounds like you aren't tonguing. Maybe its just me though.

[mathiasduck]

I does not think it is meant to be played piano.

[darkessie]

-_-

[DTrinh09]

¯\(°_o)/¯ ?

[FatB2]

Very good! I thought it was great. Might want to add a little more air behind some of those notes though, seems like you struggle to get some of them out.

[FlabberghasterXD]

i like your playing, im playing this with my friend mallory as a duet. it will be with clarinet and trumpet( I know that sounds like a bad pair but TRUST me, we will make it work) we are both verry good at our instraments, maybe i will record us when we rehearse and post it as a video response

[DTrinh09]

@FlabberghasterXD i can imagine that working out pretty well. hope the duet turns out good! have fun

[MrZooomStudios]

Lol I was watching this with my friend and he talked about how he just loves clarinet in squeak minor. Good job.

[DTrinh09]

@MrZooomStudios Yes, squeak minor is better than squeak major. Amirite?

[zasxdcgcgn]

Yo were can i get that music?? i dont know what a midi file is

[Shancus32796]

That's so cool!

[rainbowgirl678]

sounds awesome! can u post the notes!

[LiviJones]

@rainbowgirl678

My scanner's broken, so I had to use my digital camera... If there are any songs you wanted that aren't up there, then send me a message here on YouTube and I'll post it if I have it.

[LiviJones]

@rainbowgirl678

No problem! I'm working scanning some of the pages to post to photobucket... I'll holler when I get that done.

[TedMan55]

[sfan1]

Practice my friend.

[Cheesedoor]

what are the notes? could you like post them or sumthin?

be awesome

[007Commentator]

Don't puff your cheeks...

or are my eyes decieved?

Anyway, why do you post this after 5 minutes of practice and basically sightread?

Might have been more impressive after at least 10 minutes...

[jlee9211]

Not bad. :) i love your ligature <3

[dancer0927]

What is this? I love the care bears! They rule!!!!!!They tought me to play the claronet and care. They are my BFFLTWEDBIWBWTFEATSTIHAWWBBFFL­TWEBWBWTFEATSTIHAWWBBFFLTWEBWT­FEATSTIH just to let you know

[GreenGirlie15]

HOW DARE YOU

[notanerd5]

wered you get the music?? its all wrong! have u ever listened to the recording?!?

[DTrinh09]

it's off a midi file

[PaulMaccasBiggestFan]

@notanerd5 I wouldn't say it's "all wrong," he's just inexperienced. Keep playing!

[LandLvideos]

i have a blue clarinet pretty weird....maybe 1 day when i get good ill put a video and u can see my blue clarinet

[Adams4eva]

@LandLvideos I always thought a blue clarinet would be funky. However, mum didn't think it would be appropriate for me to have a blue one, however funky. Oh well, I guess it doesn't look great to walk into an exam with a blue clarinet, even if I'm doing jazz now instead of classical.

[tlautnerify]

Nice. PLease post the notes. And do you by chance have the bass clari notes??!!

[ravenislawless]

you can play the same sheet music on both clarinet and bass clarinet.

[JohnnyDeppGerardWay]

Hey, do you know where to get the sheet music for this?

[paulrosscz]

nice man. how long have you been playing?

[DTrinh09]

at the time of the video i think 4 or 5 years? no private lessons, just my middle and high school band program and whenever i get downtime at home.

i think i've played clarinet for 5 or 6 years now? man, feels so long--i wish i had actually gotten good during that time lol

[frannnyy94]

hey where did you get the music for this from? I can't find it anywhere!!!

[drakenw15]

WAX ON WAX OFF.

[DTrinh09]

you like ninja turtles?

[PaulMaccasBiggestFan]

@DTrinh09 Try Karate Kid.

[LinkCoen]

I have one tip, lok at the position of your reed... You sound pretty weak. And keep practising ;)

[DTrinh09]

i'm fiddling around with how much of the beak should be in my mouth--i've been playing near the tip before but i'm putting more inside to accommodate the altissimo notes (which i cannot control very well yet)

[LinkCoen]

I also have the beak way to much out of my mouth... I teached this myself and now I can't unlearn it! So don't do that... Because I can't uleran because I'm playing like that for 8 years now...

[nbaeza]

i'm sorry but you should stop letting your cheeks puff in, (it's bothering me) gay! and play stronger.. umm..on a posotive note good job with the high notes?

[Nakedguy01]

clarinet ownz

[x3madcandyxD]

almost 3 years but i skipeda level in band to the next grade.

[clarinetplayer94]

Woah, last year I skipped from begining to advanced too. Last year was also my 3rd year but now I've been playing for 4 years. We're at the same level. lol. :P

[x3madcandyxD]

umms i got a 3 reed new and i bang em up easily so i get new ones :D

[DTrinh09]

you do realize that's like a buck a pop right? lol.. at least if you're getting good ones. figure out what brand and size works for you best and buy packages of 5 or 10. how many years have you been playing?

[twistandshout120]

Try about 4-5 bucks each if you are going to buy single reeds. A box of 10 good qualitly reeds, such as Vandoren, would be about $35.

[x3madcandyxD]

well i got a new reed today and my clarinet was free so o.o" u got a point lol xD

[DTrinh09]

oh yeah, make sure you don't ding or chip your reeds, as it's pretty much game over from there (unless you're lucky enough to keep it as a practice reed). experiment with reeds--what brand and size are you using right now?

[x3madcandyxD]

nice playing :D ur lucky my clarinet is plastic u got a buffet E-11 *envey* o.o

[DTrinh09]

maybe that could be your problem, though i'm not suggesting that all plastic clarinets suck--what brand is it? because there are quality plastics and then there are cheapo Made-in-Chinese-sweat-shop ones lol. Trust me, I have a crap horn too. Still, you can't always blame it on the horn; maybe your reed is bad, or your mouthpiece, or your embouchure needs work.. try asking someone in-person who knows what's going on because they can *see* the errors.

-in my humblest opinion,

david

[rainyRingoStarr1237]

great! I play the Bass-Clarinet, and I think they use the Bass Clarinet on the actual song.

[Dylpickleh]

I think they used two B flats and a Bass

[LumosFire]

nice! is that a wooden clarinet?

[DTrinh09]

yep, it's a Buffet E-11

[munkymarie]

yea where'd you get the music for this song?

i'd love to try it out

[LiviJones]

I have it in a clarinet book of Beatle songs... it starts in a lower octave on my music.

[rainbowgirl678]

@LiviJones o how much did that book cost?

[LiviJones]

@rainbowgirl678

I bought it from a local music store for around $15... It has almost 100 pages of Beatle music for clarinet. I play from it just about everyday!

[jameselliott]

Hey, where'd you get the music for this?

I'd love to get a copy if you have it!

[lilgymnast8537]

wow.. i think that was pretty good. i also play the clarinet & this is my 4th year. keep trying! :)
