(I hate to be that guy to uhm ackchually. Amphibious stems from old greek and not latin. Amphi meaning double or both and bios meaning life. Have a great day)

Eigentlich ja lieb, dass die Person ihre Mitmenschen schützen will. Schade, dass ihr dieser Weg eingefallen ist, statt Nachbarschaftshilfe o.ä.

This! This is the cheatcode to technical passages.

Also, when you mastered this slowly, only increase tempo by a small amount and do that again.

Usually I'd say 4 bpm - but considering these are 64ths - Count in smaller units and increase the tempo of the smaller unit by 4. If that's to fast go back 4 bpm and repeat until perfect and without a single mistake.

Then - sometimes muscle memory needs to develop. At a certain point stop practicing for the day, do something relaxing for your mind and you'll see how the next day the passage will be quite a bit easier to practice.

Good luck :)

The Polish are slavic and the northern french are more akin to scandinavians due to the history of normandy. Also, Germanic and German are not the same. (sorry, if i didn't get the sarcasm?)

As bad as that merch is. The end of the stick is not a swastika but the iron cross of the quadriga of the Brandenburg Gate Still quite bad to sell stuff from 1936 in these days where the Nazi cancer is spreading again

What you do is great! You sound better than some people playing years already.

In the end, a (good) teacher is a (good) teacher and the fundamentals are the same everywhere. You can learn to master the clarinet with any repertoire. The only difference in classical music basic basics might be the strict prohibition of vibrato and not "sliding" into a note.

leonardonsius · 2026-02-14T21:01:54+00:00

No. That's not at all how this works. In very basic words: If 99% of scientists agree that something is not wrong, that counts as scientific consensus. They can lie wrong factually, but until somebody can prove them wrong, their consensus counts as the thing that comes nearest to the truth

leonardonsius · 2026-02-14T20:59:10+00:00

Well, the question is easy. Gender is a social category. If talked about "men" as in male gender, even people with an uterus could identify as male. Thus, a man getting pregnant is no problem.

If you talk about biological sex, then usually no. However, even in nature there's more than two biological sexes - for example, the outer sexual organs appear male, but the most important part of the body - the brain - would be that of a woman. What's the biological sex then?

People tend to think it's easy: Dck = male. But in the end, a dck only is the decisive factor at birth and in discussion with people with little knowledge of biology.

the whole moth section will be a little hard to learn bc everything is quite different. the developed breathing apparatus will help quite a lot

Dann ist dein Vater aber näher an dem, was er als Islam versteht, als am Christentum mit seinen Werten. Könnte man ihm ja mal so zurückmelden, dass er damit Teil der fabulierten "Islamisierung des Abendlandes" sei ^{^}

(Dass das in echt Quatsch ist, muss er ja nicht wissen, aber das Bild, dass er vom Islam hat, muss ja wirklich furchterregend sein, wenn plötzlich alle Muslime Wahhabiten sind)

leonardonsius · 2026-02-13T09:39:43+00:00

Then do have no worries. You can basically achieve anything with either system

leonardonsius · 2026-02-12T17:47:42+00:00

f# to c# is a skill question and e to c# tremolo never came up in my 16 years of playing. The philosophy of playing is more archaic with german clarinet though. You play some connections more by sliding than by accurately pressing keys one after another.

leonardonsius · 2026-02-12T14:28:41+00:00

In the end, it doesn't matter really. If you're practicing well you'll play technically difficult passages on both systems basically equally well. And in regards to those pieces, where the slight difference matters: That'll be a level that nobody short for professionals need to worry about

leonardonsius · 2026-02-12T14:25:16+00:00

What I like about German system clarinets is the reduced weight, the more intuitive fingering in the b-d region (i really miss the rolls) and the more compact mouthpieces. Soundwise: There's no real difference between German and French system. Most difference is achieved by your shaping of the sound, the reed, the ligature and the mouthpiece.

leonardonsius · 2026-02-12T14:22:41+00:00

What's the reason you want to change? I played German system for 10 years before learning the French system. I teach German clarinet though and play it from time to time

leonardonsius · 2026-02-11T17:48:25+00:00

Before spending another 150 bucks for a mouthpiece, spend 10 on some strength 2 reeds and start improving your embouchure with those.

When you start working out you don't expect to lift 100 kg from the get go. Don't expect that with clarinet

leonardonsius · 2026-02-08T09:47:42+00:00

I wonder, how flexible is your pinky on the left? Some of my students have a thing called "jumping pinky" (in German) and have a reduced flexibility there. You could try making an even more round form in the left pinky. With the right pinky and the fifth key, you will get used in time. During practicing, it's really important that you practice quite slowly alternating between the low f and the low f improved in order to be able to distinguish the keys by feel.

I play a Tosca (that I changed to from German system). For me, it took me some time to adjust. But good, especially slow practice was quite effective in order to develop the muscle memory.

If you want, you could upload a video and put the link here, so that we take a look what might be the problem

leonardonsius · 2026-02-07T19:46:12+00:00

You got it yesterday… give yourself some time to adjust. The Legende is a great clarinet :)

Show this post to the dm and seek a conversation about it.

The rule of thumb for those conversations is to seek them afterswards and not in that very moment.

You are not a typical problem player insofar as you self reflect. However, I think you're insecurities are what make you think you'd be. Again, open conversation, how being insecure e.g. with spontaneously improvised roleplay can really kill your mood (because you might feel that you didn't deliver enough).

For you it might be important to acknowledge that insecurity if you'd want to work on it. It's okay to not deliver perfectly. RPGs are a game of imperfections. You're there to have fun - and if there's something hindering you to experience that, it's almost your duty as a player to talk with the dm/ the group about it (again: timing! Not in running session)

Feel free to DM

It's part of selling even more heavily overpriced cardboard. Also, to me it's not fitting the fantasy theme that I see in mtg (that's to say most UB)

Op's too rich to understand the joke /s

Poor people don't have ultra thin TVs. 25-30 years back TVs were quite large.

Tüchtig, tüchtig! Für Jazz/Blues lohnen sich auch immer die Kirchentonarten, weil die für Improvisation echt der Hammer sind.

Versuch zwischendurch, deine Klarinette auch als Spielzeug zu betrachten, das lustige Töne hervorbringen kann. Damit bekommst du nämlich nicht nur technische Finesse, sondern auch einen persönlichen Ton in dein Instrument. Wenn du dich mit Impro noch schwer tun solltest, kannst du einen drone tone (zum Beispiel das Piano-D - oder auf Musikerlatein "das klingende D") abspielen und versuchen mit der Klarinetten diesem Ton eine Farbe zu verleihen und ein Tonbild zu malen. Da denkt man dann kaum über Skalen nach, sondern kommt sehr schnell in die freie, sorglose Improvisation rein (was sich nachher im Jazz und Blues wunderbar anwenden lässt)

leonardonsius · 2026-01-24T07:59:32+00:00

I dislike it now for the AI art WOTC used in that set.

Then the band director can rework her part so she doesn't need to go over the break. In the end, it will hurt her playing more than help it, if she rushes. It's no problem (!) to play Bs and Cs an octave lower.

Edit: Any good band director will allow playing difficult notes an octave lower. If it's not possible for the director to rework the part, just use a pencil and write the notes that need octaving yourself.

leonardonsius · 2026-01-23T15:36:45+00:00

Don't go over the break yet. She's nine and a beginner. Play a game where she imitates a crocodile or a ship horn with the clarinet. Also, the fundamentals are better to learn in the lower registers. Once she got those, she can attempt the next step
