Hi, I’m Ariana Lamon Anderson. I’m a professional woodwind performer and instructor. Today I’m at the International School of Music. I’ll be explaining how to play the clarinet. I’ve been performing the clarinet for over 13 years now, and teaching it for about 9. Today for my demonstration, you’ll need a clarinet. You’ll need a fresh reed, a book and willingness to learn. So, I’ll be showing you how to put it together, how to breathe, how to play a few notes and eventually how to play Hot Cross Buns. So, let’s get started. Now, I’d like to show you the different parts of the instrument.
First, we have the mouthpiece, next we have the barrel, this is called the upper joint and the lower joint, this is where hands go and at the bottom we have the barrel where the sound is projected from.
Now the mouthpiece actually has a few more parts to it. Mouthpiece uses the reed which vibrates against the mouthpiece to produce sound and we have the ligature that holds the reed on. So, when your instrument is fully put together, it should look like this and you want to be lined out at this joint here. Next we are going to talk about, how to breathe.
