Is the clarinet fun?

Well... I is different for every pear of eyes! To me the clarinet is a very fun instrument. But to some it is horrible

xxbunnylover23xx: I played the clarinet for a whole year and I in the beginning did not like it but it became more easy and I started to like it. Its really fun. But the bad thing is that you have to keep on licking the wreath until its wet and then you can make a really nice sound. But now I don't play it anymore because I'm in 7th grade and at my school they stop giving band lessons at that grade.

Is Harmony a good brand for a clarinet?

I have never heard of that brand, but for marching band you do not need a clarinet that is as good as your concert clarinet. I have two clarinets. One is a nice wooden Yamaha that I use for concerts. The other is a plastic one. I would definitely recommend using plastic for marching band as it will be exposed to the elements.

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.

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! :)
