trilling f to g (in the throat register) is still frustrating me... any ideas how to practice this, to make it less of a problem?

To make the F4 to G4 thumb trill a bit more steady, put your right pinky on any of the RH pinky keys. This gives a bit more support as it helps to hold the clarinet in a secure position.

Of course, there is always the standard F4 to G4 trill fingering: Play F4 and trill by using the throat G# key...GBK

Thanks GBK, I hadn't thought of that: the RH pinky keys! I'll try that.

I knew about the other fingering, but it sounds so-so, if done for an exstended time.

There are three excellent etudes for the left hand in the Langenus Method (part 3, I think, or perhaps part 2). They're fairly short -- less than 2 pages in all -- but give you a workout on everything you need, including the left thumb F-G trill.

Best regards.

There are also studies on his sort of thing in the Jean Jean "Vade Mecum".

Be adventurous, turn the horn upside down and trill it with either index finger!
