How to Play the Highest Note on Clarinet

[@DebBremberger]

Thanks for this video! Great timing for me. I just joined our community band, voluntarily taking the 3rd part, hoping to avoid the high altissimo register. Who knew 3rd clarinet parts had those elusive notes in them? Well, surprise! Now I'm struggling to hit anything over D. So TMI, thank you 😊

Great video! I find this process much easier on the flute, but this video makes me want to try my clarinet again. I can't seem to play passed clarion B flat consistantly. I practice the altisomo early in my practice time, but its 30% hit 70% miss. My son says I'm practicing too long and my reed gets wet too soon. He's a saxophone player in highschool band. Also, as i started to get a little faster, notes in all registers were not playing well. I became frustrated and put my clarinet aeay. I still enjoy your videos though, and this one makes me want to try. It's just hard to tell if it's me or my clarinet (from Amazon). It works great for the very basics, plays in tune. But it feels like as i improve, i get worse too. I can only play slowly. If i play a bit faster, i get the note, but delayed. That is also very frustrating. Still, I enjoy your videos. 😊 🎶
