When you play piano, it's a step higher than Clarinet because clarinet is not a concert pitched instrument, so you have to take what note is on the piano and lower it one.
Example: You're playing a G on piano and you want to play it on clarinet. You then play an A on clarinet because it's a step higher.
Example 2: You're playing an E on piano and you want to play it on clarinet. You then play an F# on the clarinet.
Check by ear just in case!
Piano music is in the key of C, and your Trumpet is in Bb. Thus, you need to raise the pitch of your instrument to make it sound in the same key as the piano. So you take the note that is on the piano and raise it one whole step (two half steps.)
But it gets a little bit more complicated than that. First, take all of the notes on the piano music and raise them one line/space above. If it is on a line, move it to the space right above it. If it is on a space, move it to the line right above it. As for the key signature, you need to add two sharps (#) or in other words, subtract two flats (b.) Simply take they key it is in and move it around the circle of fourths (in the image below) two keys to the right. That will give you the new key signature that you need to play in. Then copy any accidentals from the original piece into your new key.
You can play it as written in the original piece and it will sound fine when you play it alone. However, if you want to play with other instruments you need to transpose it.
Even more to the answer, the first answer assumed you are playing on a Bb trumpet. While that is very common in the U.S. Bb is not the only key in which a trumpet is available. If you have a C trumpet, you play it as written. If you have an Eb trumpet, you play down a third...etc.
It is easy to convert it. The alto clef looks like to little sideway humps, right! In between those humps is c. Just play c like you normally would on the clarinet. It's easy all you have to do is know how to read the alto clef!
Piano music is written 1 whole step below clarinet music. So if the note is a Eb on the piano it's an F on the clarinet. If it's a G on the piano it's an A on the clarinet.
Lilypond will take lists of notes (e.g A B C D) and output nicely formatted stave music if that is what you are looking for.

Piano music is written 1 whole step lower than clarinet music. If the note is an Ab on the piano it's a Bb on the clarinet. If the note is Eb on the piano it's an F on the clarinet.
if you are playing on alto or baritone play the notes up a fourth or up 2 whole steps and 1 half step if you are playing on tenor or soprano then they are the same notes
They are the same exact notes. So, if you wanted to play a g on the piano and a g on the clarinet they would be the same thing
The clarinet is a million times easier than the saxophone in every aspect. First because clarinet is just like piano where the notes are very easy. But on saxophone there are extra flats and sharps, you have to study things that you don't have to on clarinet, you need more air for saxophone, and the saxophone is very heavy! On clarinet you learn how to play all the notes in less than a month. If you play saxophone you learn the notes in more than 5 months! The saxophone is a lot harder! If you play saxophone, you need to layer your fingering more precisely too. Also they are tuned differently too. So if you play in a concert, the notes you play will be very confusing on the saxophone. Also the clarinet is very light. So it will be very easy to play clarinet than saxophone. So for my opinion clarinet is easier. People out there who think sax is easier, you are wrong. Clarinet is a million times easier than the saxophone in every aspect. Also for saxophone you need more air for blowing. You get tired more easily too. I admit clarinet squeaks a lot. But once you get used to it, you will stop squeaking. People out there who think sax is easier, you are wrong. Clarinet is much easier than the saxophone. Also for saxophone you need more air for blowing. You get tired more easily too. I admit clarinet squeaks a lot. But once you get used to it, you will stop squeaking. I play clarinet and saxophone and I can't keep up with saxophone. So please when you consider on choosing your instrument between clarinet and saxophone, choose clarinet.
The notes for scales on the piano are the exact same notes for corresponding scales on the saxophone. However, as the alto saxophone is in Eb and the tenor saxophone is in Bb, you will have to account for these differences by raising the piano notes by a minor third or lowering the piano notes by a whole step, respectively.
well I am pretty sure that tenor saxophone keyed in Bb so the notes are the same just diffrenent fingerings or in this case differnt slides
There is the Saxophone reed and the Clarinet reed
Take the upper octave fingerings of the B flat clarinet (D in the staff to a D above the staff) and they produce the same notes on the tenor saxophone. On tenor saxophone, you would use the same fingerings for notes regardless of which octave you are in (for example: a D in the staff is the same fingering as a D below the staff) either adding the octave key to make the note higher or lower. The only inconsistencies with no relation between clarinet and tenor are the fingerings for C (middle key in the left hand on tenor) and C sharp (no keys down on tenor) Notes in the octave above the staff are different from clarinet to tenor as well.

no, you can learn the saxophone without knowing the clarinet

Clarinet, base clarinet, alto saxophone, soprano saxophone, barri saxophone, tenor saxophone... I think you get the idea.

Clarinet is way easier.

The clarinet has 24 notes
