In a piece I'm playing on clarinet, the word 'growl' appears two or three times on ff passages and over very high notes. PLEASE can somebody tell me what this means!! I would really appreciate a reply. Lola

a growl is a weird "growl sound" that you can make by using your voval chords to make sound while you play like you normally would. you can also (but not recommended) flutter toung which is roling your toung like rolling and r in some non english languages. just roll when you play.

by the way, flutter toung is easier but growl has a better tone

The easiest way I've found to growl (at least on saxophone), is to hum and blow at the same time. This will take quite a while to get the hang of, so keep with it!

Okay, so you can create a growl by humming (preferably a third or fifth from the note you're playing) while blowing, or by fluttter tongueing. But I usually can't HEAR any humming when listening to the top sax players. So what are they doing? Is there another way to get a growl sound?
