Dear Clarinet Players,
I'm a new clarinet player, having switched from sax. Right off the bat, I'd appreciate any and all advice you could give.
Yes, I need a teacher. Point taken
I play on a Jupiter 631 with a Vandoren B40, on a Vandoren 2½... with a fairly solid tone about 80% of the time. I'm breaking in a 3 for fun, but that's mostly for kicks until I get my clarinet chops up to standard...
I'm also quite flat on the upper register... 40 to 45 cents on my tuner, and easily perceptible to the human ear. (*shudder*) Are there any exercises that can compliment my semi-daily regiment of playing high notes and attempting to raise the pitch?
Secondly, how in God's name are you supposed to play a sixteenth-note A-B-A-B?!
