I can just watch this over and over ☺️

"What a cute little barrel!" That's also one of the first things I said when I first started Eb!

[andrewd]

I think she’s probably the best Eb player i’ve heard on youtube....her tone is so nice for Eb.

[ryanbradley]

What does she have in between the body of her instrument and the bell? It looks very interesting! I also play Eb and I love it! She is SO amazing!

I doubled on E Flat with the University of Alberta 2014 Summer band and the E Flat is hard to play, but SO MUCH FUN.

Clarinet’s not the only instrument that can do flutter-tonguing. Many famous... flutists? flautists? have shown how they do flutter-tonguing.

“It’s a fairly basic instrument to learn”
…I know she’s right because it’s like the easiest woodwind to play, but as a clarinetist that hurt me a little bit 😭

Eb Clarinet is the best clarinet, although my old band teachers would probably disagree

[onecircle]

I'm interested in the sound of long tones from this instrument.

[nathanwachter]

I play saxaphone because Lisa Simpson plays it

[dmasz]

gota learn to flutter my fingers that fast, it's kinda difficult for me, still intermediate level

[WarrenHickman]

Musicians are geeks, artists are narcissists.
