Now You Too Can Play The Clarinet

By Patrick Cooper


The easiest way to advance quickly at an instrument is to seek out some private lessons. That way, the instructor will be able to point out any incorrect clarinet techniques you might be using. It is important to find a teacher that you can really connect to and learn from comfortably.

It is so much fun to play music with a group of people. There is something special that happens when you are all able to interact in this rhythmic and tonal way, in which no words have to be exchanged in order to form a strong bond. You will love the amazing feeling that you have after you have been playing with your group for a while.

The more you practice at this kind of thing, the better you are going to get at it. There are always going to be those who think that they are incredibly talented and never have to work at what they do. You will almost always find that hard work beats out talent if you give it long enough.

Reeds are such an important part of any woodwind instrument. One mistake that the newer players will frequently make is forgetting to soak their reeds properly or for long enough, which makes it very easy to squeak or have poor tone quality. Working your way up the reed hardness scale and making sure to throw away any cracked or worn out reeds is also very critical.

Taking care of your instrument is something that not everyone knows how to do properly. It is usually taught in lessons or in band class, but some students do not always realize how serious it is. Failing to clean out the instrument regularly can lead to it not playing the way you want it to, not to mention a whole slew of health hazards.

A good option if you are trying to get your hands on an instrument but are not sure if you can afford it is to rent one. This is much more affordable and, for many people, a more viable options since they will only need it for a limited period of time. If you do decide that you want to keep your instrument, sometimes you can rent to own.

Thanks to the numerous different styles of music that are out there, it is basically limitless the number of ways that you can make this instrument sound. If your preference is more in the realm of classical music, you will be able to find plenty of pieces in which clarinets are features prominently. It is also easy to find this particular woodwind in jazz, as well as traditional Jewish tunes.

It is very important for everyone to have a way of expressing themselves. Otherwise, it is all too easy for a person to fall into introverted tendencies in which they try to bottle up all of their emotions and never deal with them. You might be surprised by how therapeutic playing a song on an instrument can be.
