The Clarinet does not need air

Author: Paul Aviles

In my attempt to find videos on air support and such, I found this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZvDvuxjHvU

WATCH IT FIRST

So you could do the same for clarinet, except it is the REED that needs to vibrate, not the lips. I think we all accept the idea that it is the air column in the clarinet that is vibrating and producing the sound, not what we blow into it. But it is cool to actually see this illustrated so clearly.

It follows then that all the stuff we talk about regarding breathing, support, diaphragm, oppositional forces, etc., boils down to getting the reed to vibrate properly.

I'm just throwing this out there as food for thought. The bottom line is that it doesn't change much about the reality of what we do, unless addressing the reed vibrations directly brings up some better suggestions for making our process easier.

Let's discuss.
