Tbh gonna delete this blog

Unless someone wants to give me a really compelling argument about why and how they will run it. I’m deleting in fiveish days.

To clarify: I am struggling with severe depression and a fully time job while trying to promote and create my art. I don't have time to even be in community band anymore and while I need to delete things weighing me down in life, I don't WANT to delete this blog. I need someone who will be willing to answer questions and the fan mail because I have had a really hard time getting myself to do so. If you feel you can answer serious questions about bass clarinets and music and will reblog and post stuff like all the time, send me a message and tell me why you should do it. A conversation in the chat section would actually be better because I'll get a notification for that. Sorry I haven't been a good blog moderator this year.

Guys, do you know anyone who is selling a used professional grade Bass Clarinet for an affordable price(Or is willing to do pay to rent) because I’m poor as fuck and really need a Bass Clarinet and my fundraising thing isn’t going well because no one is sharing or donating and it’s making me anxious… I really need a Bass Clarinet…

What's the 411 on marching bass clarinet? I switched senior year and now that I'm going to college, my new band director suggested I play the bass since there are so many clarinets and I like the bass better but I'm still curious.

I marched bass for three years, and honestly the best thing you can do for yourself is learn to stand with good posture and invest in a good neckstrap/harness situation. It really does make all the difference. Happy Playing!

Hey fellow bassies, I'm looking at buying a low-C bass for the first time and was wondering if y'all have recommendations for where to look (good reliable and nice sounding Instruments!!)

tbh i’m pretty spoiled, Buffet prestige is honestly the best i’ve ever played on. For the record I’ve played on Leblanc, Yamaha, Selmer, and Buffet. And it still wins, every time. Expensive, but if you buy quality once you’ll only have to buy once. Happy playing!

music kid reminders

•you don’t need an “official” title to be important to your band •you don’t need to be section leader to be important to your band • you don’t need to play first part to be important to your ensemble •how long you have been playing isn’t a reflection of who you are •even if you aren’t an official leader, you still deserve respect from others-even if they think they’re a better player than you •musical ability means nothing with a bad attitude •it’s okay if you don’t make it into “that big thing” you auditioned for

Feel free to add more!!

Ive been playing clarinet for a while now, and just started the bass clarinet. What are some ways to help intonation and have some of the higher notes sounding better?

Bass clarinet is different than soprano in a lot of ways, for one, we have a lot more room to impact our intonation with “lipping” up and down. For the most part, upper notes on a Bass clarinet will be sharper than they should be. One thing to pay attention to when working on intonation is to keep your embouchure in check always- even work with a mirror if you need to. Because the mouthpiece angle is much more horizontal and much much wider, you will need to concentrate on sealing your corners and pulling your chin down as you play. Another thing to keep in mind is air support, the more fast, hot air you can put through that thing the better tbh, also make sure your reed isn’t too soft. Finally make certain that your hand position is stable and not pressing down on any keys that should be open, as that can impact tuning. I hope this has been helpful, if you need anything else just let me know and I’ll try my very best to help. Best wishes and happy playing~ Z

interactive sheet music that plays notes you touch

I would pay good money for this type of technology.

If a Clarinet squeaks in the forest and no one is around to hear it, do they still get mocked by the whole band?
