Hey clarinetists.

Okay, I found some videos of The Rakes of Mallow and The Wearing of Green on some webbies.
I leave it to Mr Tang to decide which is the better one so that y'all can have an example of the tempo, how it should be played and what are some stuff other bands have (emphasis, dynamics, etc) that we don't.
Please jot it down and share it during sectionals on the next practice.
DON'T RUSH AT THE QUAVERS!!

&, here are some webbies for better playing. Includes airy sound, breathing and many more.
Please try the breathing exercises and see if you are on the correct track.
Remember good posture and it'll be good to do this in front of the mirror.

1. Clarinet air support:

in here the guy also states that we can do sports, specifically swimming and running.
On top of that, we can use this chance to have mini section outing.

" your tummy, stomach, diaphragm, as you lay down, move up and down. That tummy is working the air in your lungs. That is where all of your breathing energy should occur (besides the mouth, of course). Breathe in now, and try to fill the sides of your diaphragm (about where your elbows touch your upper torso). If you fill that area, you are really filling your lungs up well and this knowledge alone will help your Clarinet Air Support. "

2. Airy sound in play clarinet.

3. Clarinet Embouchure.

If you think you've been having the wrong embouchure, PLEASE CHANGE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
*Notice the curve in part of the guy's chin.

do read up more on http://www.clarinet-now.com/ cos I think it's quite meaningful and it'll be of a great help too (provided you take the exercises SERIOUSLY)

okay, that's about all. :)

Isabel :D
