Since you’re really getting into the world of Jewish music, have you heard of chilik frank ? He’s a chossid who does ashkenaz/Klezmer. My absolute fav song from him is a song called ‘Rabi meir omer’ !

Ughh one thing I love about kletzmer is the emphasis on clarinet so many songs have. It makes me want to pick mine back up and play this by ear...

As well, this is how it feels to play clarinet:

#ask #jumblr #jewish music #when i was first learning clarinet in school we all had a music book and i always gravitated toward playing the jewish or kletzmer-ish song #i didn't know it was kletzmer or jewish but i knew i absolutely LOVED playing that style of music #i have ALWAYS adored how that music style has sounded. deep in my heart i knew i belonged in a kletzmer band #anon thank you <3 #i SERIOUSLY need to get my claronet out but i don't know how i'd explain to my family why i'd be playing obviously 'foreign' music #i haven't picked up my clarinet in years........#do reeds expire ....#i love learning songs by playing them by ear. i learned a lot of songs through this and even made claronet parts to songs that don't have i #i'd walk around during marching band practice with my earbud in playing parts over and over. i bet it was annoying to my peers LMAO #my toxic trait was listening to music while marching and playing music (not during comps obviously just during band camp)#it was so bad i listened to one song eight hours a day (more like ten) every day for two weeks #even AFTER band camp i would replay it on my walk to my ex's house. and it was a twenth minute walk or so. it was BAD.#UMMM. apparently reeds DO expire. funny. some of my reeds i used for half a year or more #and these websites are saying to replace them biweekly? no way. no fucking way #i don't care. i'll let my reeds grow a culture of their own if they play well (slight hyperbole)#vandorens are GREAT but they're pricy. i am NOT shelling out my life savings for three reeds
