If you are a clarinetist looking to improve your multiphonic skills — I teach a course on improving tone, register control and embouchure flexibility using multiphonics as the basis on tonebase (where — full disclosure — I’m also head of clarinet). You can try the course and tonebase clarinet with a 14-day free trial (and if you do, please do join the community forum and come say hello!).

Me again — another video for you (please do follow my channel if you use YouTube regularly, as I’m not sure how consistent I’ll be with posting videos here!).

I’ve done what I think is a thorough playthrough of multiphonic #92 from this post, showing different pitches and some articulation options. I think this might be better than just doing an improvisation, as it’s a little more structured – what do you think? Feel free to leave a comment here on the YouTube post – really genuinely curious to know what composers think of this kind of detailed explanation of single sounds (before I carry on making dozens more of these!). Especially: what’s missing?

(By the way, I’ve decided to take an extended – possibly permanent – break from most social medias, except instagram. So if you like the content here, I suggest following the blog via your RSS reader or via the e-mail link in the right hand column!)
