So, for my birthday, I'm hoping on getting a Clarinet. (I've been asking for one for 3 years ( Read more... )

I've been playing for about 3 years (I'm in the 7th grade)and I have a hard time getting notes above high G, and get a good tone. Any suggestions?

If someone was going to start playing the clarinet tomorrow, what 3 pieces of advice would you give them?

1. Practice!
2. Get good reeds.
3. Take good care of your clarinet.

MUSIC THEORY IS EATING ME! lol... serously.. i hate not haveing1 set answer... and im sure my theroy teacher is getting aggrivated at the question.. why! lol.. oh adn all the dictation!... ahhh! i hate it... but i love it... and i hate mosart.... why can he do anything he wants .. but we cant! lol.. ok.. im sorry ( Read more... )

so, i need help.

the b and c on my clarinet do not work. (middle register i guess), but e and f kind of work, they dont feel right, but the notes come out.
i would take it somewhere, but i dont think there are really any places to take it.
if anyone has any ideas let me know!

I need to play a chromatic scale up and down as high as I can go for an audition I'm recording soon. No big deal, right? I've done this a gazillion times ( Read more... )

Hey, clarinetists!

So, I'm busy preparing my chair placement audition, and I was flipping through some sheet music, and I stumbled upon something I'd never seen before.  What does it mean when there's a little x next to a note?  It's before certain sixteenth notes, and I was just wondering if any of you knew.

Thanks!
