The clarinet is louder than when you speak because the clarinet is your voice. Thank you so much Dear Miss Doreen!

I have a dream of coming to New Orleans and playing my clarinet with you!!! You inspire me to do more than the classical training I have. I’ve never been great with improv. But I’m finally planning the trip and hope to encounter your magic!

I don't even play the clarinet, and I'm watching this. I really really like your music Doreen. You made me cry when I listened to your performance with the Louisiana philharmonic. I've never cried during an instrumental performance before.

Glad to see the algorithm has finally discovered her. Doreen you are a treasure. I hope you gain a lot of new fans this week!

DOREEN!! i study clarinet at university right now and i always get burnt out throughout the semester after practicing nonstop classical music. you bring me back to my passion every single time. THANK YOU

I'm so glad i saw this video bc otherwise i probably wouldn't have picked up my clarinet again

I bought a new clarinet to play after a thousand years. A friend turned me on to Doreen and she has become my inspiration!

I have studied music for years. I can't play well but I like music theory. She is one of the best teachers I have ever seen. I am a teacher and a coach so it's easy to recognize talent in teaching. Even my wife got this and she doesn't know a chord from a note but she understood this with ease. Just wow!!!!

She's amazing. I'm a sax player but my favorite jazz musician in Benny Goodman. The more I listen to and appreciate Doreen, the more I see her and Benny in similar musical light. Their true voice is through their clarinets!...and they are fluent and eloquent!

I loved Benny Goodman and believed he was the best - Until Doreen. My opinion is that Doreen has surpassed Benney in every way and style. Goodman is good, Doreen is outstanding and no one is better, not even Benny.

oh oh, oh … no … come on now. Even Doreen wouldn’t agree with that (unless it gets funded) … I also play sax (alto, soprano and sopranino) but I recently came back to clarinet when I had to learn Jewish music for a new wife. My last lesson was when I was 10 in 1956. What an instrument! There are many great clarinet players. Look at KZread, especially classical and klezmer. What Doreen does is brings back is VOCAL to the instrument. This young lady may be turning the 21st Century music back to days when people doubled between voice and a horn or woodwind …. at least in NOLA. Social media can do that! Right Doreen? ❤️🥂🙏

"you can make a mistake in improv, bc you can resolve it the right way" I love that

I miss you so much on the streets! An absolute new orleans legend!!!!

Doreen...you are a great Grand Master Class of the Clarinet.... and one of the reasons...is that you are a **most humble person**, with such God given talent to make that stick wail! God Bless, and your playing brings tears to my eyes, and such joy in my heart whenever I hear you. Again, Ma'am, God Bless! May He keep you and yours, safe.

this lady has all my respect

Few other musicians ever played melodies the way you do and even fewer do it so graciously and passionately. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful music, God Bless you and your family immensely. Greetings from Brazil!

I have always thought that the LUCKIEST THING, to ever have occurred in Benny Goodman's life...was that Doreen was still only a twinkle in her Daddy's eye....during the 40's...and he doesn't still (probably, lol) have a clue in how lucky he was.....that she came later, much later...... oh yeah.

I absolutely love NOLA jazz. I love your style. Absolutely perfect. You make everything sound so beautiful.

I'm a trumpet player and I found this video more helpful than trumpet teachers teaching the same concept. You have such a pure spirit on top of being such a talented musician. I've heard of improvising around the melody first before tackling things like chord changes (in a jazz context) but now you've shown me in a way that makes perfect sense. This will definitely help me construct improvised soloes a lot easier too.

Thanks. I do not play clarinet, but alto sax. However, what you just explained applies to music in general. You explain it so simple and that makes it easy to absorb. And please, continue to speak softly; that is a sign of being humble and that is good. Thanks again.

You are way more than jazz... Unbelievable talent.

Step 6: play with all your heart and soul. Like Doreen!

Miss Doreen, you make me smile. Thank you for your gift of music and love.

Man what great advice, much more straight forward intro to jazz improv than any of the improv that my high school jazz teachers taught. Before talking about scales - which is important like you mentioned - you talk about structure, similar to how an English teacher talks about structure of a paragraph. Hope you are playing in front of live audiences again, you make Mary had a little lamb sound like a masterpiece.

That! Wow, what a wonderful improv.

Clarinet player here too. We met about 5 years ago and talked jazz. Nice to see you!

i have never played the clarinet in my life, but i've loved your lesson thank you :)

Doreen, took lessons for 6 weeks 60 years ago. Still musically illiterate but started playing clarinet again last year by ear. Im ok but no wheres near your playing. Thanks so much for the tip. Will be playing with it for a while. Love listening to you.

I discovered you since one day and thanks to you now i know how to growl on the clarinet and it's the coolest thing and the more i watch your videos the more i honestly love you

The greats always have a way of simplifying difficult concepts into easily understood and useable ideas.

While clearing out a storage room day before yesterday, my son found my old clarinet from @ 1969 when I was in band class. I quit when I was 12, sadly, because the wonderful teacher I had from day one got a better job, and his replacement was a monster who ruled by fear. I quit the day he slapped me because my breathing was "off". It was off because I was crying. From that day on, I hated my clarinet, put it in the back of my closet but kept it all these years because it's a very nice instrument that my sweet mama bought me. She always bought quality. It's been 40 years since I touched it, but to my surprise I still remember how to play a little, and how to get a good sound. I'm retired and have time now, and fewer inhibitions. I've been noodling around on it, and can play a passable version of "Dream a Little Dream of Me", and "All of Me". I've been told that when the student is willing, the teacher appears. I'm ready, Doreen! You have a beautiful heart and your music flows from your love of art, and love itself. I'm ready for a new journey that will feed my soul.

Doreen makes my heart smile

I cried. I literally cried. Your so good and I love your music.

Watched to the end. I haven't even got a clarinet! :)

I started loving clarinet with all the way it is because of you Doreen, thank you for bringing all your passion in!

This woman is so intriguing and talented.

Lady whatever you have missed out on in life this gift of God has made a difference for you.

Doreen, you are a treasure!

I LOVE this woman!

Although clarinet is the perfect trouble mind for a sax player as I am in term of fingering, you motor me to handle it and put some kids on. Warmest hug from Madagascar. We love you Doreen. Stay blessed.

You played that note. Wow.

I saw you with the fab 5! This helped so much! I've been struggling writing a jazz solo for my band and thanks!

I love her energy and her vibe overall, it’s all just the frosting on the cake when she plays clarinet the way she does. She has a very satisfying sound on clarinet, it’s aggressive but sweet at the same time, sounds almost like a tenor sax a tad bit, I could listen to her play all day I swear.

I just found you 30 minutes ago and you're the most talent on clarinet I've ever seen.

You can clearly see the passion, love and soul that goes into all this. What treat it is to watch you perform, teach and just bask your radiation. Keep up the good work - I believe you can withstand that challenging time ❤️

God bless you, sister! Your playing and singing of Just a closer walk with Thee just brings me to tears!

Her royal majesty

I love how you used "by the grace of GOD" @6:50 ....GOD bless your gentle soul Doreen!!!!

You always make me smile when you play !

Good grief! I never heard that tune played like that in my life! Fab!

Doreen, I'm a 73 year old aspring clarinet player who's just discovered jazz and improvisation and want to get better. Your short video is a great introduction to what I was looking for. Thank you and much love from here in the UK. XXX PS. you play a mean clarinet...love it.

These lessons are great! ty so much Doreen.

I lived in Baton Rouge for years and never found this channel? I've been missin out on you.

Just learned about you five minutes ago from a clip but you are my new favorite. Thanks for working hard

God bless you ....all these years and I never thought of Improv as im-prove-on-the melody

im in jazz band and im learning how to improv. this is so helpful!!

I am in awe of your playing!

Ms Doreen, your speaking voice is as nice as your music, I love Doreen 😍😍😍💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

I'm not the most highly trained player but I've been lucky enough to get involved with a really fun band, so I'm pushing myself to learn more. And in the time I've been playing your live videos have been a huge inspiration so getting a bit of tutelage from you is such a blessing! Thank you Queen!

Such a sweet soul!! Love you Doreen.

I played clarinet in middle school, and never liked it with the wooden reed and saliva 😂 but you changed all of that when I saw you at Dew Drop Jazz Hall in Mandeville - it was by the Grace of God and a wonderful neighbor that randomly invited me last minute. What an absolute honor it was to be in your audience, we were dancing outside in the grass, having dinner and wine on the mats and chairs outside while enjoying your amazing talent outside the jazz hall - looking in at you with the wooden windows open. The best memory of my life by any musician “ever”. You blew my mind and now I’m watching you wanting a clarinet so I can take lessons from you at 45 years old 😊 I would love to have a t-shirt, accessory, or gift with you, your name and/or your clarinet on it. I’m so excited and brag about you constantly to friends and make them listen on KZread. I design websites and do marketing (in New Orleans pre-Covid) and wanted to build your website after I heard your music. I hope you are doing extremely well financially for the beautiful talent you have been blessed with and learned over the years.

My God! You're the best thing that youtube recommended to me until now! God bless you!

I just found you and was astounded at the level of your improve...”but can she teach”, I wondered. Oh YES! Dear, you can teach improv to any musician, and if you could do it in a series of video lessons, like a lot of online personalities, I think you would be a huge hit. I would sign up. I play bass.

This works just as well with the saxophone!

I LOVE this woman. Thank you for existing, Doreen the Queen.

I wish well always Doreen. Great big hug

Discovering your music has greatly improved my life!

You seem like a very lovely lady! I love listening to you play the clarinet.

Step 6: a lifetime of listening and learning until you are the music. Beautiful!

Doreen you ROCK. a real Jazzer ❤️🙏🏻

I just love the way you play and you! You make me smile and happy inside

I was actually blown away by that end product. This video really taught me a lot, thank you for that. As a clarinet player in symphony 2, I plan on auditioning for the jazz band at my school and even though the piece we're playing isn't improv, this still helped me understand jazz just a little more

You are incredible ! I gave away a clarinet a few years ago when I had my antique store ! I wish I had it now , I might have to give it a try ! Wow thank you Doreen ❤️🎶Queen Clarinet #1

Thank you!! 💜 I love yourplaying

I do not know what I expected, but wow that voice of yours is surprisingly soothing :)

Doreen, you are AWESOME!

Wow just beautiful! Thank you Doreen for sharing your gift

I love this so much

Thank you Doreen!!!!!!!!!!!

Simple but powerful

I am not a clarinet player but I simply love you. You have the most welcoming personality and you are a great teacher. Even though I have no interest in the clarinet, you were having so much fun with this lesson that I was just sitting here smiling at the computer. You are a joy to watch. I'm going to subscribe just so I can get more of these good vibes every now and then. Thank you!!!

Thanks Doreen.

We love you D

Fantastic way to teach ,thank you.

That was a great lesson, Thank you!!

You are absolutely amazing!!!! What a blessing you are!

Beautiful!

Brilliant !

the end just blew me away. wow. soooo great. thank you for this video!!

Such a pleasant teaching style and voice

never thought that i would be so impressed by mary had a little lamb but this was absolutely amazing, i didnt improv one time and it was literally just like half the scale swung

Love your love. This was way helpful.

I AM HERE FOR THIS

She's wonderful.

What a quick simple lesson!! Thank you!! Will definitely be applying to my keys and organ playing!!

What a great video many thanks, what a great teacher.

I am (or rather I used to be) a sax player, and every time I had to improvise for jazz I really sucked at it - it's because nobody taught me these excellent tips! Thanks Doreen, you are amazing.

thank u so much!! I love your voice and energy.

I love you Doreen! ♥️ Keep up the good work!!

YOU ARE SO GREAT!!!! LOVE YOUR MUSIC! Saying Hi from Hong Kong!

Wow. I can't believe the complete transformation of that simple song. Amazing!

You're an utter blessing to this earth, Queen Doreen

This is what I needed to get started, what a great Christmas gift!
