I`s just like to know how to do some fancy tricks on the clarinet, like growling, bending, good vibrato, glisandoes etc. Please reply to this. I`d also like some pointers on improvising on the clarinet in a jazz band.

Bending is easy just drop your jaw.

Hello, I havent really got any good triks for you...musically but if you chew a mint while you play it make the reed taste good. but besides that I play clarinet and I saw that you said you were in Jazz band. My school doesnt let clarinets in jazz band does that rip or what!? They say clarinets aren`t jazz instrument....please. Oh Vibrato is fun. Just quiver your bottem lip. Its easy if you dont bite down either that or move your toungue up and down from "e" to "aww" and it makes a wavey sound,more subtle.

Hiya
hehe...impro is pretty ezy. Well, kinda . First of all u need to know what notes you are using for improvising. (I`m in my school jazz band 2...useda play clarinet, then went 2 a alto sax...now on bari sax) After you have the notes ur gonna play with...it kinda comes naturally...just play wateva u think sounds good ...that`s all i do...if u`d like any help or wateva (not to sound braggy ) feel free to email me
