Why is teenage dating so important?

Teenage dating is important because then you know who your future man/woman will be. But it won't be the first one you date. It always depends on who your destined to be with.

Impossible to tell without more information. Wood or ABS plastic? Condition? Could be as little as $50 ~ $75 if it is an older ABS plastic model, playable but with visible wear to plating, scratches, etc.

By comparison BRAND NEW on-line competitive pricing on Yamaha clarinets starts out at around $800. Once you take it out of the store value drops considerably.

How are vibrations amplified on a clarinet?

The way I use vibrato on any clarinet is I move my chin the tiniest bit back and forth. This will change the pitch ever so slightly. It is best if you have time to mess around with moving your chin back and forth to find what sound you like the best for your vibrato.

What is the difference between the C B A and the G clarinet?

In an orchestra, the "normal key" is C. So, if you are playing a C note on a C clarinet it will sound as a C. On a B(B flat) clarinet, when you play C it will sound B flat. On an A clarinet a C will sound as if A was played and consequently on a G clarinet a C will sound as a G.

So for the clarinets B, A and G, music needs to be transposed (changed), so that we play the correct notes. This is done so we can switch between different clarinets. Otherwise we would need to learn different fingerings for all the different clarinets. The C clarinet is not transposed and we play it as it is.

I hope this makes sense... :)

How do you play high c on clarinet?

Try doubling the pressure against the reed with your lip until it jumps an octave.

Should you play the clarinet or saxophone?

Well sense you already know how to play clarinet, i would recommend guitar because it is a little more advanced. Piano is because alot of people have them and you can play them at parties and it is a beginner instrument. Also, almost anyhing can be translated onto the piano. Guitars are really fun though because you can learn a lot of cool stuff on them and you can take them with you almost everywhere. Also...(chicks AND dudes dig people that play guitar way more than people that play pianos. Also, guitars are cheaper. I have played guitar for about a year now and I am on an intermediate level. It has been a lot of fun and Hope you have some fun either way you go. The above person doesn't know what he's talking about. Piano is the root of Western music. It is not a "beginner instrument". In fact, it is much easier to transition from piano to guitar, because in piano playing, you have to learn to read music. And piano playing requires that you perform both chord and melody work at the same time, with the two hands doing something different, and implementation of the feet as well. Piano also makes a much wider spectrum of sounds; it can hold down the bass notes while also playing high melodies. It is, in fact, a more complicated instrument than guitar, because of the co-ordination involved. Now, there are other considerations. In guitar playing, both hands combine to do one thing. In guitar, you are either playing chords or single lines at the same time, with limited range -- for example, you can't do an F# on the 6th string and a C on the 22nd fret on the 1st string at the same time; your hand simply won't reach the notes. And because of the more limited range of the guitar, it is not as full-sounding an instrument -- a guitar could never give as deep a bottom end as a piano, for example. However, being a string instrument, a guitar can hit the microtones that fall in between the 12 tones of Western music, with techniques like sliding, bending, tremolo picking and vibrato which do not exist on the piano, and even more so with electric guitar. So I would argue that guitar is a more emotive instrument, while piano has to rely more on the compositional aspect of music (ie. which notes to hit) to convey emotion, because the only choices you have in piano are which notes to hit, how fast to play, and how hard you hit the key. A guitar has a much wider range of "noises" like harmonics, scrapes, feedback, and choices of tools (eg. a metal pick, a glass slide on the left hand, fingerpicks) to vary its nuances. In summary, the advantages of guitar are: - Expressive, emotive -- the strings are closer to your fingers, and you can personalize the nuances of the playing - Portable -- you can take a guitar hiking, can't take a piano - Even higher-end guitars are much less expensive than an actual piano - Easy to do maintenance; most guitar players do some form of maintenance on their own instrument - Easier to play - Rock and roll is a guitar-based music form; you would never sound completely "rock" playing a piano or even a keyboard The advantages of piano are: - Great basis for learning any other instrument, including guitar - Easy transition to keyboard playing, and therefore access to the full range of instrumentation on electronic keyboards, such as string sections, brass sections, synth, bass, basically any instrument in the world - Piano compositions tend to be more sophisticated than guitar, because you can play 10 different notes at a time, with an almost unlimited range of note choices, no matter how far apart in pitch - Fuller sound and louder volume when playing live

What is the lowest pitched instrument in the clarinet family?

Double bass. An instrument has the pitch higher as it's size gets smaller. Violin is very high pitched. Viola is more mellow. Cello suffices for a dramatic or romantic song. And double bass is a wonderful accomplisher for working in groups. Or that's just my opinion. Anyway double bass is your answer. Have fun :D

Concert d-flat is played as e-flat on the clarinet. To transpose any note from concert pitch, simply raise it one whole step; the result is the note you should play on a standard b-flat clarinet to match the concert pitch.

Is Lazarro a good clarinet?

Lazarro is a good clarinet for beginners as well as some intermediate players. Also note, the instrument is only as good as the player as well as a technician to services. These two factors should also be considered when comparing brands. You can have a very nice brand such as buffet crampon, but not have the proper set up on it which of course make it a very frustrating instrument to work with. Yes, there are some brands of instruments that should be avoided as far as the first instrument. Lazaro is not one of them

What are the lyrics to strangers on the shore?

Here I stand, watching the tide go out

So all alone and blue

Just dreaming dreams of you

I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea

Taking all my dreams

And taking all of me

The sighing of the waves

The wailing of the wind

The tears in my eyes burn

Pleading, "My love, return"

Why, oh, why must I go on like this?

Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?

Is the clarinet fun?

Well... I is different for every pear of eyes! To me the clarinet is a very fun instrument. But to some it is horrible

xxbunnylover23xx: I played the clarinet for a whole year and I in the beginning did not like it but it became more easy and I started to like it. Its really fun. But the bad thing is that you have to keep on licking the wreath until its wet and then you can make a really nice sound. But now I don't play it anymore because I'm in 7th grade and at my school they stop giving band lessons at that grade.

Is Harmony a good brand for a clarinet?

I have never heard of that brand, but for marching band you do not need a clarinet that is as good as your concert clarinet. I have two clarinets. One is a nice wooden Yamaha that I use for concerts. The other is a plastic one. I would definitely recommend using plastic for marching band as it will be exposed to the elements.

Is sheet music for the clarinet the same as sheet music for the flute?

No but it is the same as the trumpet & piano

(Afgncaap8 disagrees, saying that clarinet music isdifferent from flute, and that it is the same as trumpet, but the clarinet has different music than the piano! The piano is a C instrument, whereas the typical trumpet and clarinet tend to be tuned to B-flat. However, usually the flute and the piano are both tuned to C, so their music could be the same.)
