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!

Does the clarinet play piano music written in the key of C?

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

Why is a clarinet in b flat key?

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".
