Where is edc and g on the clarinet?

Answer 1

G is open, you have no holes down. E has your left thumb on the hole on the bottom and your left index finger on the first hole on top. for D, you take E, and put your left middle finger down on the next hole. For C, you take D and put your left ring finger down on the next hole, no pinkies on any of them.

for the upper octave, you need to first locate the "octave key". the octave key is that long bar on the bottom of the Clarinet next to the only hole. it ends in a tear drop shape. you must hold this key down while playing to play the upper octave.

**the fingering in the upper octave is NOT the same as in the lower octave.

C is all fingers down (except your left pinky). your right pinky will go on the second bar down, at the veiw when you are playing it: (the < represents which hole to play for upper C, the octave key is shown as a U)

for the upper octave D, you release your right pinky.

for upper E, you release your right ring finger

for upper G, you release your entire right hand, so that you are only holding down the first four holes.

hope this helped!
