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.)

How to do a turn on clarinet?

Doing a turn on a clarinet is relatively simple, so long as you're not doing it over the bridge (middle of the staff B to middle of the staff C).

What you do is take your starting note (let's use G), go up 1 step (A), go back to your staring note (G), go down a step (F), and go back to your starting note (G).

To have this sound correct, you usually want to do a turn as quickly as possible, and near the end of the note value.

Good luck!

The hard one is Bb and A. A is slightly longer than Bb. Eb is tiny, But Ab is smaller. Alto has a slightly bent barrel and bell and the bass looks like a tenor saxophone. Contrabass.... now that's a tricky one. The straight one looks like a stretched bass, but the curly one looks like a paperclip.

The B-flat soprano saxophone is in the same key as the common B-flat soprano clarinet. In other words, the sounding pitches on their respective music would be the same.

The clarinet and saxophone families both have many instruments in them, and they are mostly pitched either in B-flat or E-flat, with some exceptions, one being the C-melody saxophone.

How do you keep clarinet in mouth?

To tongue on your clarinet all you do is put it in playing position (mouthpiece, wet reed and ligature all in place, then you press your bottom lip flat on reed and bite down with top teeth. Keep lip muscles clenched) Position your tongue inside your mouth so it is in a point (not flat) and tap your reed with your tongue to the rhythm.

What always helped me was to say "too". Also keep a continuous flow of air, but stop it by pressing your top hard against reed.

I hope this helped! :)

"Clarinet" actually comes from the French word, "clarionette", or "little trumpet". This has to do with the size of the clarinet as well as the sounds and tone of its higher notes.

What is the arpeggio for concert e flat on clarinet?

For the the common Bb clarinet:

F A C.

An arpeggio consists of the first, third, fifth, notes of a scale, usually played ascending and then descending. The three notes of an arpeggio also make up a major triad. "Concert" means in the key of C, but the clarinet is in Bb, so first convert Eb in C to its counterpart in Bb, which is F.

The scale name is F Major, and the notes in the scale: F, G, A, Bb, C, D, E, . Taking the first, third, and fifth notes, it becomes: F, A, C. When playing this arpeggio, a musician would usually play (ascending) F, A, C, F, (descending) C, A, F.

What size is a bass clarinet reed?

it is really a matter of opinion, the situation, and your level of experiance. for example, I am a high school student that has been playing for six years. my favorite brand is vandoren. Rico are very good reed for beginners. the strength is situational. you want to use a heavier reed, prabably a 3 for marching band and jazz. for concert band, use a lighter reed like a 2 1/2. the lighter you go, the harder it is to produce a nice sound, but the easier it is to play. so as you become more experienced start experimenting with different reed strengths to see which you prefer. For marching, many prefer plastic reeds, for you do not have to keep them wet, and they do not freeze, but it it very hard to produce a quality sound on these, and they take a slight altering of play-style.
