Sleigh Ride but from an Eb Clarinet Perspective 

Way to go big bro👍🏻

i dont even play Eb clarinet but damn..that range is incredible

bro that sounds almost like piccolo range... really impressive

I didn’t even realize Sleigh Ride had an eb clarinet part! You sounded amazing! Clean and beautiful sound!

I love how it can sound like a trumpet and a normal clarinet at the same time, good job!

This is incredible! As a clarinetist myself, I strive to be able to play like this! Brilliant job!

You played a different edition of Sleigh Ride than is usually standard for band, based on the Eb clarinet part that I played. It sure is a lot of fun, though, and you did a great job!

That’s was amazing! But no one gonna talk about how cute the very beginning was🤨🌞

As a piccolo player myself, DAMN DUDE THATS RLY HIGH, LIKE MY KINDA RANGE HIGH 😱😱

Great job on Eb for a young player. Don’t forget besides playing right notes and correct articulations, dynamics are very important. There were many places where there should of been crescendos and decrescendos. Everything was one dynamic. You weren’t the only one, the whole ensemble. But you’re doing a great job. Keep up the good work. You definitely have the talent.

I play Eb clarinet and WOW. Your tone is great and you can play in tune (I can’t lol) and it just sounds awesome. Keep up the good work!

great job on this very difficult part!

YO WAIT WERENT YOU FIRST CHAIR AT ALL STATE SYMPHNOIC BAND LAST YEAR I REMEMBER YOU

Great job! I played Eb clarinet in my high school band well over 50 years ago, I can identify with this!

I could watch this one All day, EVERYDAY.(not only because I am a Clarinetist, and wanted to play Eb Cl, but instead I am playing Alto Cl which is the same Key but lower octave) Your the first clarinet part I’ve heard with great sound quality, clear articulation with the 16ths, slurs, and staccato notes, you were OP with those dynamics!!!! AND perfect tempo. I mean if I didn’t know any better I’d say you COMPOSED this piece😂😂 Amazing Job Gavyn !

sounded like flute, trumpet and clarinet at the same time lol good job!!!!

Really nice. Played clarinet for many years in grade school through college. Never tried an Eb, though. It's sooo tiny! Like you, I doubled up on a couple other woodwinds - sax and bassoon. Those were fun times. (I assume you also play sax from that strap around your neck.)

I’m so late but I play Bb clarinet and this is really awesome, you’re super talented. The range is impressive asf.

I love how you add extra parts when the Eb part has unnecessary rests haha, nice job all around though! (coming from a fellow eb player :D)

Great job. That was so good! Have a safe and Happy Holidays!

Great playing, good job! I love that you're vibing to the music.

VERY nice sound!!! Bravo band and Eb! 🥳

I am slowly listening to every part played by high schoolers

This is great playing, through break, altissimo, and in tune, facility through all the registers. Wonderful job.

OMG, you are so talented and you sound awesome!!! I enjoyed this!! your band sounded so good!!!

So talented my dude, keep up the good work!🤗 -your biggest fan

love seeing POVs like this as the holidays are coming up :D you sounded great!!

you sound absolutely amazing! i played Eb for a year before going back to Bb and i know how hard it is to sound as nice as you do. fantastic job :)

This was absolutely amazing! I’m a Eb clarinet, and love playing it! You have great talent, good job!

Sounded really nice! I love the Eb clarinet, it's like a clarinet's equivalent to piccolo.

great sound

Excellent job!!!

Great skill. Love it. You know what you are doing. Happy holidays to you as well. 🎅🤶🕊😉

Now I’m curious about the E♭ Clarinet! Good job on the performance!

I’ve been playing/ doubling on Eb for 2.5 decades (and ‘Sleigh Ride’ to this day, is still one of the most fun Eb parts). You play what is a difficult little beast very well, with precise technique!

the TRILLSS

Wonderful performance. It honors Leroy Anderson.

Excellent!

watching this as a Bb clarinet in pure disbelief

BRAVO!

omg i loved this so much ♥

that is one of the songs I want to play in the future when I am older! The clarinet sounds good!

Great job!!!!

I love playing Eb! Nice job!

Very nice….I like how you can play in tune on an Eb clarinet. I’m impressed, nice job!!!!

That was fun, thanks!

You did really good , your tone is good I can already tell

I love my Eb clarinet 😭😭😭. Your air control is insane

This is really cool for me as a clarinetist that just started working in the e flat( I have play b flat clarinet for 7 years)

wow so good

Absolutely killed it bro! I have only played this as alto sax or contra alto clarinet. Eb looks amazingly fun. Probably a beast to keep in tune, but you nailed it

so good😄

Well done! Your Selmer sounded great!

amazing, (espetacular, fantástico)

Very good! This is the season for Sleigh Ride.

Very nice, good job

Eb can be really difficult to contain - looks like you were doubling saxophone and Eb? I also played Eb momentarily in high school. Good work Don't apologize for watching the band director.

I wish my school band would play sleigh ride so I could try this part out 🥹

Clartastic and Clarific

WOW! Bravo. Great sound.

you got the high and normal parts oml that must have been so fun to play

I was the slapstick

Great job Gavyn!

Need to comment. I have listened thru many h.s. performances playing "Sleigh Ride" and all are great. But I've come to not help preferring your performance. It is personally the best. So congrats snd keep on tootin'. Love it. 😉👏👏👏👍👍👍Peace. 🕊 P.S. Good luck thru High School. 🎓

Play the Clarinet too🎵! It’s so good👍🏻💗🎵🎧!! Well done 👏🏻🌈🙋🏻‍♀️☀️:)!

YOU GOBBLED THAT GAVYN!!

Bravo

wow thats a high range😭👏🏽❤

i would absolutely HATE to have to do that on my clarient. good jobbb

Eb clarinet sounds good in the right hands. and these hands are great.

Coming from a trumpet and euphonium player this is AWSOME!

I played E-flat on Sleigh Ride back in 2019, was a lot of fun.

i played this song as well for my concert and you're definitely better than our clarinets😭

Agree with you about the tuning, but heck, if I could play like you do (musically), I'd be more than satisfied 🏆 As to the tuning, Eb clarinets are notorious for tuning issues (especially the altissimo range), so don't feel bad.

If you get $10 every time you blink this guy would be homeless

I PLAY Eb AND THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY

Nice job.

Capybara! :D Phenomenal job!

I loved playing this last year on Eb too ( you played it better)

My favorite Sleigh Ride perspective instrument! This piece clearly was written by a clarinetist.

"Play it again Sam ...." Well its that time of year again abd while we, the public don't know your affairs, I for as a "fan" of your ability to play "Sleigh Ride" am gonna play it thru thes days. I also presume that may have graduated from high school to which Congratulations and all the best in pursuing your dreams. Hopefully you still RU-vid yourself else where yet for now Happy Holidays for all loved ones and you thru 2024 and beyond. Keep tootin or whatever but I am going for a sleighride. 🎄🎅🤶😇👍😉🕊

I play Bb clarinet currently, but I want to eventually get an Eb one to play during my senior year. What are some good tips for playing it?

i need that capybara thing immediately. its so cute

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎵🎶🎵🎶

I play b# clarinet and you sound SOOO GOOD BROO

You look so proud at the end! Keep it up, I'm looking forward to playing clarinet in 5th grade

me when gavyn slays 😍😍😍

👏🏼👏🏼

What brand of Eb is that? I’m looking for an upgrade for my student model. Sounds great too.

jesus wow you are actually insane at the clarinet

how in the HECK did you play eb altissimo register that well... i play eb so i know hard that is...

As an Eb clarinet player.. holy f**k.

Ayo the mythical e flat clarinet?? EXISTS!?

You slayed @Gavyn Tapp

you did great! a minor tip though, your articulation is a bit heavy! this piece obviously uses lots of tonguing, so i def understand how it can get heavy. when you tongue it sounds like you are stopping the reed with a bigger portion of your tongue than you are supposed to, so it makes each note a bit shorter. use the VERY tip of your tongue to get that continuous flow and crisp articulation! it also helps for tonguing faster in the future, using the very tip of your tongue and tonguing lightly! you are only supposed to typically touch the reed for an extremely short time! (unless the piece needs stop motion tonguing, but that is typically rare) other than this great job! eb is definitely different than bb and gets a while to get used to. - a fellow college clarinetist :) good luck with your future endeavors!

1:44 the octave change wow

Nice playing! I play Bb clarinet in band. What’s the difference between Eb and Bb?

Sounds like when I have to play the oboe super high lol

You guys sleighed

Hi I am a student at Tulare Western high school and you look so familiar so I was wondering did you go to La Sierra Music Camp? If I am wrong so sorry for the weird comment 😅❤
