A little contrabass clarinet improvisation on a Friday afternoon
My contrabass clarinet has been making me extremely happy lately 🥰
It's really Dominic's delight with these sounds that make them. New piece by Scott McLaughlin coming soon, can't wait - we'll premiere it at Rainy Days festival in Luxembourg this year!
Stunning soft double bass/bass clarinet combo
I had a little bit of a rant/peptalk at the start of yesterday’s livestream for @tonebase.clarinet - someone’s previous teacher told them they didn’t need a warmup routine because they’re “just” an adult amateur and this gave me a LOT to think about. So many of my students on tonebase talk about feeling like the clarinet is like an unpredictable animal that they can’t control: and what better way to have control than to have a good warmup routine and good practicing habits? So, adult amateurs of the world: join me in developing a solid warmup routine! Make yourself a nice cup of coffee and crack on with those long tones! #clarinet #clarinets #clarinetists #klarinet #klarinette #clarinetplayer #clarinetchoir #clarinetduet #clarinetsolo #clarinetlove #contemporarymusic #clarinetlessons #clarinetto #clarinetlife #newmusic #clarinetchoir #clarinetrepair #clarinetista #clarinetquartet #clarinetday #clarinettebasse #composer #composition #bassclarinet
