Reviewer Feedback:

MUSICAL ARTISTRY

Excellent playing on bass clarinet! Your scales are great and you play well in all registers. Good technique in both excerpts.

TONE QUALITY
Reviewer 1
Sometimes you have a pressure vibrato, perhaps from biting, but you still have good control playing. Try relaxing your embouchure a bit more. Again, nice fast technique in the fast Rose 9 etude.

Very fine playing on the bass! Keep up the good work!

I love playing the Bass Clarinet, almost as much as I love the Soprano or Contrabass Clarinet. I'm currently a high school student playing these, and I really love being in band with all my friend. What a great Clarinet world we live in, am I right Mozart?

This video is nothing like middle schooler playing flight of the bumblebee, or how to circular breath in 10 minutes. This video is an all new Clarinet video filled with so much Clarinet and fun.
