is it? my teacher tells me to put down my bottom hand on some of the throat tones to bring the pitch in tune so i was wondering if G counted too.

Yes, open G is considered a throat tone. Sometimes adding those additional fingers in the right hand can improve the tone quality of the note. -Corey

from E4 till Bb4 are throat notes.
Clarinets registers (french system):
chalumeau: E3 till Eb4
throat: E4 till Bb4
Clarion: B4 till C6
High: C#6 and above

javier...The throat tones (open G to Bb) are not technically a register, but rather a subset of the chalumeau register which extends from E3 to Bb4.
All of these notes are first harmonics (or fundamentals), and are notes that can be played given the length of the clarinet set by the highest open hole.
The clarion (or middle register) is from B4 to C6
The "high" register is more commonly called the altissimo register, which would be from C#6 and all notes above.
However, many books, methods and fingering charts now split the altissimo register into the "lower altissimo" from C#6 to G6, and the "upper altissimo" G#6 to G7...GBK

The E, F, and F# are, in most of the tutorials that I have seen, NOT considered throat tones because you have some holes closed with your fingers. Plus you cannot make adjustments to their tone quality by putting down some right hand fingers since the bridge mechanism closes a pad on the upper joint when you do.
Some of the notes can actually be played in more than one register. For example trilling throat Bb to C, the C is played by using the side trill keys and since it is played as a fundamental that way, it is in the chalumeau register at that time even though the normal fingering puts it in the clarion.
