Great suggestions from the BBoard Rebekah. Listen to them and try all of these things. I keep my right fingers down on my A because it's sharp and putting the fingers down can lower the pitch. It does on my clarinet.

Also just a thought. When I was in Jr. High I couldn't do "the break" very well so I used to "practice" even when I couldn't play out loud. Whenever you're sitting in front of the TV or on a phone call that's less than riveting, finger your clarinet. Practice getting those fingers down all at once. Also, I don't know if you've played the chromatic scale yet but if you can get the octave from low C to the clarion C learned and just finger that over and over( and play it out loud) you will help yourself a lot. Don't be afraid to push a lot of air too. You go from much less resistance on an A to a tremendous amount of it on the B. Keep the air going. Good luck and don't give up. Rebecca
