Best Answer

The Clarinet is a Bb instrument. That means that when a clarinet player plays a C, it would sound like a Bb on the piano. If you want to play along with piano, the clarinetist has to play 1 note higher that the piano. (or the piano has to play a whole note lower)

How do you play someone like you on clarinet?

I can sometimes translate piano notes into clarinet notes. Someone I know plays piano and I can translate her songs onto my clarinet. You should try doing what I do and if that doesn't work then maybe you can just stick to listening to Adele's fantastic music without playing along. I hope I could help!


Can you play sheet music for a piano on a clarinet?

No, they do not. When a clarinet player plays a "C" it actually sounds a "B-flat". The two instruments can play together if the clarinet part is written a whole step higher than the piano part.

Is sheet music for the clarinet the same as sheet music for the flute?

No but it is the same as the trumpet & piano(Afgncaap8 disagrees, saying that clarinet music isdifferent from flute, and that it is the same as trumpet, but the clarinet has different music than the piano! The piano is a C instrument, whereas the typical trumpet and clarinet tend to be tuned to B-flat. However, usually the flute and the piano are both tuned to C, so their music could be the same.)

What is the dissonance to clarinet?

Well there is not necessarily one instrument that is dissonant to the clarinet. Really any instrument is dissonant to the clarinet as long as they are playing a note that has dissonance with the note that the clarinet is playing. So say the clarinet plays an A and a violin (or any other instrument) played a G# there will be a lot of dissonant. If after this you still don't understand try to find a piano and play notes that are next to each other and you will find the dissonance
