when she plays the clarinet i'm amazed like "wow! what a nice instrument" then i realize i play it too

I never tongued before this. I just searched up "how to tongue" and I found her videos. Very useful!

frick I've been tounging wrong my whole life.... I've always had my tounge touch the roof of my mouth not my reed.....😣

I'm glad this was helpful to you.

Hi! Thank you so much for your videos...they are truly great and so helpful! During some of your videos… You have played some really cool licks and I was wondering if you have music for any of them?

This helped a lot, I never knew until you told me

Do you have any experience with students who are tongue-tied? I've been relearning and just cannot get tonguing down and I worry it's due to my being tongue-tied. :( Thanks for all your videos, they have been super helpful!

That's funny, I've always done this. It's just how I did it naturally

Thanks for this video! Bassoonist and woodwind generalist here. I have noticed still in my own clarinet playing that the upper register staccato tonguing always has some kind of subtone quality even though I have been working on this stop tongue technique. Am I changing the shape of my tongue too much?

Oh this is a fun one to teach lol! But stick w it and explain -air is everything . Thanks enjoyed your vid. I wonder if we studied w the same person lol feels like I’m back there now as I watch !

every time I lift my tongue from the reed I squeak at the start of the note

Remember, it's not the tongue that starts the note, it's the air! Try to bring the tongue back more quickly and keep up the air support.

Backun Musical Services thank you

Ok Here is my lesson on tounging Practice a lot of "tenuto" style tounging. So the sound of interrupted as little as possible. Practice this a lot, a lot a lot. And much more will fall in place throught the years with all kinds of tounging.

Would this help on the saxophone as well?

Thank you for your videos! What do you think about different tonguing ways? I use this one: I hit the reed by middle of my tongue,not by tip of my tongue.( the tongue tip touches the low teeth from the inside) Have you ever play this way?

Даша Кузьменко you’re describing something called “anchor tonguing”. I learned this way as well and was able to get by for many years, but as I progressed in other ways I found that it really inhibited my speed and clarity! I recommend retraining yourself to use the tip of the tongue. It will be very difficult at first but will become second nature in a matter of weeks. Good luck!

Hi, do you have any tips for doing this with a high C? I have a piece for honor band where I have 11 measures of staccatoed C’s and it sounds awful.

Same for me it sounds thumpy because of the high register and then I'll squeak it so frustrating

If you press further down on the reed it can make it clearer and easier to play higher notes

Yes- make sure you are actually voicing that c correctly. Start thumb f. Nice and strong fast air , open relaxed throat as in “ahhh” then without them knowing, hit the register key. Then see where u are , if that f is sounding great, the c prob will too. Then step two f to high c, take OFF the register key while still trying to maintain that C. If they slip down to lower f , their tongue throat placement most likely too low, so practing high c w more open throat , ahhhh, ooooo, then eeeee( which will prob crack up to next partial)

What do you use to get such good audio? Also what is that clarinet? It looks expensive (probably is)

Move your tongue faster when you lift and place it back on the reed. The "the" sound you are getting is probably the reed beginning to vibrate as you slowly get the tongue off of the reed. Hope that helps!

I’ve been tonguing with my tongue hitting the roof of my mouth, instead of the reed. Is there a diffrence?

Can you made video for those who already know that i mean things you are saying are for beginers

Not for beginners - this is for perfecting air column which in turn you add tongue correctly. I’ve had college students going to conservatory or even colleagues that still don’t nail this.

Practice this stop....

Won’t this make them even stiffer? Teaching them to press harder on the read with the thong?

her reed is so redXD

Is tha blood on the reed? O_o
