00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,710
Good morning.

2
00:00:14,730 --> 00:00:17,469
There's a lot of people here, it must be because I'm wearing my red shirt.

3
00:00:19,789 --> 00:00:28,030
I brought a carrot, and I'm going to give you a quick 4 minute and 43, 4 minute and

4
00:00:28,030 --> 00:00:34,250
42 instruction on how to make your own clarinet from a carrot.

5
00:00:34,250 --> 00:00:41,310
a really good definition that I like of creativity is the putting together of two

6
00:00:41,310 --> 00:00:45,990
previously unrelated things could be objects or ideas and creating something new so I'm going to

7
00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:53,570
take a carrot and a saxophone mouthpiece and I'm going to give you a very quick demonstration on

8
00:00:53,570 --> 00:00:56,670
how to make your own instrument because I think the thing we forget is we tend

9
00:00:56,670 --> 00:01:02,590
crazy because music is such a communal activity but we tend to leave music in the hands of the

10
00:01:02,590 --> 00:01:09,969
experts and we all of us consume music but you yourselves can become carrot clarinet players

11
00:01:09,969 --> 00:01:18,079
very easily so you need a kitchen knife i'm going to cut off the end of the carrot

12
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:27,250
and i do have my trusty carrot clarinet measuring stick here which is giving me all my measurements

13
00:01:27,250 --> 00:01:31,290
but um you can actually go to youtube i've put all the measurements up on youtube you just need

14
00:01:31,290 --> 00:01:43,670
to type in make your own carrot clarinet so there's my um markings for six finger holes down

15
00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:49,310
the front so i'm just using the tip of this 12 millimeter bit so i'm giving you some you don't

16
00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:54,609
even have to go to youtube you see you've got just remember that you can you can make a mark in your

17
00:01:54,609 --> 00:02:03,790
app okay so that's six finger holes and one thumb hole on the back marking okay now the tricky part

18
00:02:14,030 --> 00:02:14,789
Okay, here we go.

19
00:02:14,870 --> 00:02:18,610
I've got a bowl here so I don't make too much of a mess at this stage.

20
00:02:20,030 --> 00:02:21,770
And into the centre.

21
00:02:42,620 --> 00:02:43,379
Getting there.

22
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:44,180
Halfway through.

23
00:02:47,389 --> 00:02:48,430
One more, I reckon.

24
00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:04,280
I don't understand.

25
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,159
Seven mil bit now.

26
00:03:07,379 --> 00:03:08,479
So that's for the finger holes.

27
00:03:08,580 --> 00:03:09,879
Let's do the thumb hole first.

28
00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:17,180
And now the six finger holes that you'll notice that I've marked.

29
00:03:17,180 --> 00:03:23,659
so um you do need i'm actually using a saxophone mouthpiece i mentioned but it

30
00:03:23,659 --> 00:03:27,500
still is a clarinet because it's a cylindrical bore not conical

31
00:03:27,500 --> 00:04:15,639
oh sorry we've run out of time i'll have to go i've got 57 seconds left here we go

32
00:04:30,889 --> 00:05:05,860
Thank you.

33
00:05:05,879 --> 00:05:15,660
Thank you.
