[@yusei3617]

Is there a tip to make the transition from b natural (middle)to b flat smoothly ?

[@amaralynnette9794]

IMO I’d say push lots of air through the horn, bring your corners in and keep your right hand down

[@funnyminerr]

Well idk if this will work due to where your fingers have to go after but if you pinch b flat and press the side key at the same time you’ll play b natural

Ggs I quit I have to play this saturday

[@EdwinCampos-m9e]

What fingerings do you use for the E sharp in m5 and f sharp in m6??

[@josuerodriguez5164]

An E# is the same as a F natural, and use the not chromatic way for the F# in m6.

[@nicholascouncilor]

I chose to use the chromatic (side keys) F#, but you can flip if that makes it easier and smoother for you!

[@martha.vazquez]

is the last note in m9 a F natural or f# bc I know the double sharp F which is before that note is a G natural right?

[@amaralynnette9794]

Measure 9 notes are
G# B# D# G# F## F#
(F## (Double sharp) is G natural)

[@juice8323]

In m.11 do you use the chromatic finger for f# to f?

[@bmajorscale]

I think you have to flip there

[@nicholascouncilor]

No, I used the regular (middle finger) F# in this measure and flipped to the following E#

[@Aih_pos]

yeah so i’m quitting clarinet 🤩🔫
