there are several types of a notes.
the most common a is the key right above the note you put your left index finger on. (idk what its called!) no holes are covered.
low a is played by covering all the holes except the bottom one. no keys are pressed.
high a is played by covering the first 3 holes on the front and the one on the back. add the register key. if you have a hard time playing this note, play a C then add the register key. it helped me when i learned it!
hope this info helps!
On a traditional Bb cornet, an A will have a 12 fingering.
See the related links section for a link to sheet music with fingerings.

up the to there is two buttons press the won on the right! hahaha!
My answer is I JUST GOT IT
Yes you can its like low F but with your thumb key.
Second two fingers on left hand first finger on right octave key and second top key of the four at the bottom of the clarinet
The question is worded vaguely, but: A good clarinet player can READ and PLAY piano music (of course excluding chords & notes outside of the clarinets range). If the music is WRITTEN in the key of c, played directly on the clarinet, it will SOUND in the key of Bb (B flat). Therefore, the clarinet is considered a "Bb instrument," along with bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet; soprano, tenor and bass saxophones, trumpet and a few other odd instruments. Music for these "transposing" instruments must be rewritten or transposed in the key of D in order to sound in the key of C. Hope that helps, ZoeyStLeopard
The Bb Clarinet is the most common type of clarinet. The Bb shows that the clarinet is tuned to that note, just like an Eb clarinet is tuned to an Eb. If a Bb clarinet and a flute both play an "A" the notes will sound different, because they are tuned to different notes. In order to make the notes sound the same, the Bb Clarinet must play a semitone up, which is a "Bb".
Why would you want to play it on clarinet
Yes you can its like low F but with your thumb key.
hold down the octave key and A
E flat
let go of the octave key
The clarinet is played in the key of B flat
Mouth Piece, ligature, Reed, Upper Key Joint, Lower Key Joint, Bell. I Know This Because I Play The Clarinet. I Know I'm A Band Geek!! D:
Second two fingers on left hand first finger on right octave key and second top key of the four at the bottom of the clarinet
It depends which key you play in, but there is probably a G somewhere.
Assuming you mean clarinet then the standard one plays in the key of B flat. Others play in E flat, A, A flat, Or even C.

You can play the "A" note by pressing the key thats on the opposite side of the register key (the one right abouve your thumb in the back) (: Hope this helps! :D
