Clarinet

Clarinets are a vital part of any woodwind section, and thus are in high school bands. Sometimes colleges will march clarinets, as well, but sometimes they only take brass and percussion. DCI never marches woodwinds, though, because it is a drum corps, and a drum corps, by definition, only has brass and precussion.

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.

The timbre varies in the register played. The low register is rich and reedy, the middle register can have a more open, hollow sound, good for blending and harmonizing while the high register can be quite clear and piercing. All around a versatile instrument.

Cover all key holes with your fingers and hit the extension key that's on the outside. hit this key with your left pinky. if your clarinet's old like mine, you might also need the bottom key you use for the c that's right above the break.

Because she wanted women to be treated the same way as men were treated. She introduced women into politics and put them in the same level as men. Women today should look up to her, seeing that she embodies thhe fact that women can do anything, and that too better than men.

It's for piano, but if you use one of the treble clef lines it sounds fine.

NO WAY HOJEY!!!!

Be careful. Try not to drop it, as that can also bend the keys, which means you have to take it in for repairs, and keep it in a case when you aren't playing it. Don't swing it around wildly, either.

THE MOST EXPENSIVE CLARINET I HAVE SEEN IS THE BUFFET TOSCA MODEL,SELLING AT A MUSIC STORE IN AUSTRALIA.....COST...$11,300 AUST. DOLLARS...SHUCKS..DO I GET A FREE REED WITH THAT...I AM SURE THE INSTRUMENT WILL SPENT ITS LIFE IN THE DISPLAY CASE...

To play "In the Jungle" on an Alto Saxophone, you only have to use four different keys: D#, E#, F#, and G# (you also use one A# at the end). They go in this order:

D#, E#, F#, E#, F#, G#, F#, E#, D#, E#, F#, E#, D#, F#, E#, A#

This might be easier

to play a low e, have all fingers on and bottom left and right little fingers on as well. to play a middle e, put the first two fingers of your left hand plus your thumb on the appropriate holes
to play a higher e make sure u have the speaker key down and put all fingers on the left hand on, and then the first two fingers on the right.
to play high high e, don't put the first left hand finger down, but put the thumb finger and the bottom two down and then don't put any down on the right hand. Remember to also have the speaker key on and sqeaze really tight! x

The first "clarinet" was created around the turn of the 18th century, in Germany by J. Denner (father or son not known for sure). But the clarinet developed from a Baroque instrument called the chalumeau, similar to the recorder but with a single reed mouthpiece similar to that of the modern clarinet and a cylindrical bore.

im sorry i have no clue. i have been looking everywhere and i get nothing. i like the notes in letter form so if u find tht let me know!!

Bb clarinet is really 26&3/8ths in length

from tip of mouthpiece to bottom of bell.

Anyone who has played , taught or made

clarinets for decades would realize that

there are different pitch standards and bore

dimensions for each generic size. Further one should specify what

general key the clarinet is in, when and where it was made,

and whether it has bottom range extension, before answering this question.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat is a nursery song. Its pretty simple to play it.

For beginners, a Hite is good.

For more advanced, I would recommend Vandoren first. Try a Vandoren M15, or if you're looking for a bigger sound, an M30.

I use a hand-made Richard Hawkins B. It's great!

A student can't go wrong with a Hite Premier, Fobes Debut, Pyne, Yamaha or Runyon. Differences are subtle. Student mouthpieces provide special construction features that enable students to play easier, such as wider rails.

Vandoren and Selmer mouthpieces are expensive, particularly for a young beginner that may or may not play beyond the first year -- or even beyond the first month or two. I include them because they are so often recommended by well-meaning mid/high school teachers, many of whom are not really that familiar with woodwinds. The second list also provides a good comparison in tip openings to the less expensive student mouthpieces.

Be aware that Vandoren models vary considerably from sample to sample and it is best to try a few.

Check and compare the larger on-line merchants for pricing and in regards to their usually generous return policy.

Here's some other inexpensive mouthpieces for beginners (in order of tip opening):

Hite Premier (0.95)

Fobes Debut (1.00)

Yamaha 3C (1.00)

Yamaha 4C (1.05)

Pyne Polycrystal (1.075)

Yamaha 5C (1.10)

Runyon 22 #3 (1.14)

Runyon 22 #4 (1.19)

Moving up in price:

Selmer HS* (1.00)

Selmer B* (1.05)

Vandoren 5RV (1.06)

Vandoren 5RV Lyre (1.09+ Vandoren's specs!)

Selmer C* (1.10)

Selmer C** (1.15)

Selmer D (1.20)

Invented around 1690, the clarinet is a single-reed woodwind instrument with a cylindrical tube. The clarinet evolved from an earlier instrument called the chalumeau, the first true single reed instrument.

Johann Christoph Denner of Nuremburg with the help of his son Jacob improved the chalumeau, creating a new instrument called the clarinet. Denner added two keys to the chalumeau and increased that instruments range by over two octaves. He also created a better mouthpiece and improved the bell (end) of the instrument.

In 1843, the clarinet was further improved when Klose adapted the Boehm flute key system to the clarinet. Mozart was the first composer to use the clarinet in a symphony.

I am pretty sure that it is a high F. Played with thumb on octave key and key hole, middle finger, and the ring finger on that tiny little key in between the two bottom holes on the left hand used for alternate E flat

The clarinet has its roots in single-reed instruments used during the middle ages in Europe and the Middle East. Between the middle ages and the 18th century, the modern day clarinet was developed from a Baroque instrument called the "chalumeau."

Yes, there were changes to the clarinet since it was made. The clarinet used to be made of a typre of wood, called grenadilla wood. Now, many clarinets are made of different woods, plastics, metals, and sizes. The type of clarinet depends on what it's made from, and how it's designed.

The piano is a "C" instrument, meaning when it plays a C you hear a C. The clarinet is a "B-flat" instrument which means when a clarinet plays a "C" is sounds a "B-flat." I know this sounds confusing and the easiest thing you can do is play, rewrite the clarinet notes a whole step higher than the piano part.

See Jack Brymer's superior text, Clarinet, ISBN 0-02-871440 According to Brymer ( 1976) any single reed instrument is, technically, a member of the Clarinet family. The earliest single reed insturments were crafted in ancient Egypt, and there are medieval precursors, the chalumeau being the major prototype for the clarinet. According to Brymer, the clarinet was invented rather than evolving , by J.C. Denner in the year 1700 in Germany.

The hard way: have someone sing the song over and over, while you figure it out one note at a time.

The easy way: buy a book of children's songs that includes the sheet music to them, and read the music.
