Clarinet ninja

I had an experience this morning that I wanted to share: I had a piece I wanted to order, but was unsure which edition was right for me AND I wanted recommendations for another piece to play with the same person. I asked Cameron Hewes at www.clarinetallmusic.com/

I got good advice about the edition, as well as many wonderful options for additional pieces to play. Cameron is a far better resource than googling or using AI to find new pieces (particularly when a particular skill level is involved).

Not that anyone asked for it - but consider this an unsolicited and ringing endorsement of what Cameron does in our clarinet world!
Thanks Cameron!

🎵 NEW VIDEO: Why Your Performances Don't Match Your Practice

There are 2 types of practice. Most clarinetists only do 1.

That's the problem.

PRACTICE PRACTICE = Building skills ✅
PRACTICE PERFORMANCE = Accessing those skills under pressure ❌ (Most people skip this)

This video breaks down the complete system:
- The Build-Out Method
- Mock performances that actually work
- Red-yellow-green priority system
- How to shift from control to trust

Based on research from Dr. Noa Kageyama & Dr. Molly Gebrian + my decades performing professionally.

It's getting cold and dry! If you have a clarinet made of wood....here is your reminder and helpful links to get your Boveda game together! These are affiliate links (they do NOT cost you more but help the channel greatly). Three humidity levels...
49%: amzn.to/4hzkbBf
62%: amzn.to/4qtQMwl
72%: amzn.to/48PE9Wb

Keep your clarinet in shape in all seasons:)

Any advice for the video about to come out? I have conversations with wonderful vendors at ICA. Funny informative, and puts the warmth and joy into knowing who made or is selling the products we use. I have a lot of it. An hours worth....what do I do? I want people to watch it....it's lots of fun but long videos can get passed over because of their length....

Need clarinetfest video ideas! Something narrative-driven, like "I walked into clarinetfest wondering..." Funny or serious, high-effort, high-reward. Hit me with your best!

The latest podcast episode is out! The process of healing a broken foot has interesting similarities with learning the clarinet. I have learned a lot from the healing of my foot and the isolation that resulted during that process. I wanted to share some ideas regarding how to go about learning the clarinet.
