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.

It is so important to make sure that you get plenty of practice in on a regular basis. Otherwise, everything that you might have learned might fall out of your brain and you will have to learn it all over again. While in some cases your muscle memory will fall right back into place, your fingers might need some reminding where all the right keys are if you do not stick with a regular practice regimen.

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.

There are so many elements of maintenance and care that have to be adhered to when you are working with these kinds of instruments. Woodwinds can be very finicky if you do not take care of them, and if they are not properly cleaned on a regular basis, it can actually lead to some health hazards. Just knowing this is enough for plenty of people to want to get their instrument cleaned and tuned up.

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.

Finding the right genre of music to play all depends on what your preference is. There are so many different options for clarinets since they are so popular. You will find plenty of things to play in classical, baroque, jazz, and much more.

At the end of the day, it is very important to find ways of expressing yourself. This can happen in little ways depending on who you are and what opportunities you have to do so throughout your day. Playing a tune on your instrument can make all the difference in letting out all of those emotions from within.
