Nobody like to hear squeaky beginners. Which group is worse - Band or Orchestra? "Band doesn't sound squeaky like those beginning VIOLINS." "Aren't you forgetting about the CLARINETS?"
Well my band friends from another country, that's why I chose percussion. Easiest, doesn't squeak, and you can make the other instruments go faster and slower.
“Aren’t you forgetting about the clarinets?” Me who started clarinet around a month ago: 👀 Also my teacher taught me that those squeaks are just high notes that are out of tune :)
As a clarinetist, I can confirm we have very loud squeaks! In my band, you hear a squeak every so often from either our Bass Clarinets, Clarinets, Sax, and Alto Sax.
As a clarinet player, I can confirm we have some GIGANTIC ABSOLUTLEY EAR WRENCHING HIGH PITCHED squeks here and there that especially like to appear during concerts…
My band class looks something like this: Flute: 3rd grade recorder music Oboe: *DUCK NOISES INTENSIFY* Bassoon: SpongeBobs alarm clock Saxophone: slightly more peaceful Bassoon Clarinets: ✨SQUEEK✨ Trumpet: More 💫duck💫 sounds Trombone: æÆÆ- Euphonium: Carrying half the whole band class Tubas: *Sounds like the same note repeatedly* Xylophone: *Kid who doesn’t play xylophone: plays c scale* Drums: scaring everyone there
Haha 😂 as a clarinet player and a violinist, I have learned a few things from being both in bands and in orchestras practices and this is pretty accurate for beginning orchestras and band but trust me you guys, as a veteran band kid and a professional/prodigy violinist I can say it gets better as you grow in experience
As a part of the clarinetists I can relate to that because I had a concert last week, and my mom took a recording and you can hear my squeaks clear as day.😢
“Aren’t you forgetting about the clarinets?” Me, a clarinetist, reminiscing about the last contest where one of us squeaked, landing us with an excellent: *maniacal painful laughter*
This is so true all of them are squeaky, but I think that the violin is more squeaky because of all the strings. I was in band and I played in low brass and the clarinets were always squeaking, but I also also played violin and violin was always squeaking
As a band student, trust me, we shut up, but only sometimes. I totally agree, but I find no interest in playing in orchestra. Anyways, I love y’all’s music even if never heard YOU play.
As a band student, i can tell you whilst slso had played in orchestra bands pieces truly sound better sometimes both need each other for certain pieces but as have done both i can say band is better
As someone who plays the flute I’d like to recognize everyone else who plays the flute for tricking their ears into thinking we r not just making squeaking/screeching sounds 24/7😅😅😅
Tbh, as a clarinet, you can hear the squeaks standing out from us unlike violins and shtuff Then again…. We can play louder, are instrument could POSSIBLY fit in our backpack, etc.
This is random but as a clarinet player, the amount of Squidward mentions I’ve got so far are too many to count, I’ve been playing clarinet for 5 months now 😂
As a trombonist ofc we can say we’re not squeaky, we only make the following sounds: Unidentified creature noises Race car Sad trombone Perfect pitch when no one is listening-
Yknow what's funny? Im a trombone player, and my friend let me try her viola. I absolutely nailed the sound and learned 3 chords by myself. The main reason was that im also a ukelele player, and i understand how string instruments are.
As a violinist, I can confirm band doesn’t know how to shut up and that the person was putting too much weight on the bow and used too much rosin. It sounds great when you can play it good.
I ADORE my viola players - I call them the cream filling of the orchestra. The violins and cellos are just dry dark chocolate Oreos cookie shells. Everyone really loves the cream filling best. But everyone also likes to poke fun at the Alto-clef reading violists!
The viola’s in my class barely make any noise and most of us violin players make jokes about them being bad. Yet, I am hoping to learn viola soon and I’m exited!
