I keep reading about C4 or A5 or E5 ......
Is there a chart for these note assignments so i can understand what notes you are talking about?

It's also worth pointing out that each octave starts at C, not at A.
Middle C is C4.
The note below C4 is B3, not B4 as any sane person might expect.
The numbering comes from the standard 88-key piano keyboard (or, in the words of Tom Lehrer, the 88-string guitar).
The lowest note is A0. The lowest C is C1.
The note picture showing C4 would be more useful if it also showed B3, to make this clearer.

I also have a question regarding fingering/note charts, so here goes : Does anyone know where I can find (for free?) a FULL fingering chart for Bflat clarinet. I have one right now, but I know it's not the entire thing because I've learned 1-2 higher notes than what is written in my lesson book. I've learned from E3 to Fsharp6. I thought to lowest note on Bflat clarinet was E3, but in one of my pieces it goes down to a fourth ledger line!! What is it?? Thanks in advance!!

The link above to the Woodwind Fingering guide has pretty much everything you might ever need.
About that note. I see two possibilities: The piece is for bass clarinet, or its for basset clarinet (Mozart concerto and quintet, perhaps?)

davidsampson -- The piece is simply called "Mozart Concerto, Opus 107", and I cannot find anything about it anywhere!! (It's copyrighted in 1945.) Also, the cover says B flat clarinet, my band director is letting me borrow it, and when I asked her about it, she didn't know either!! I'm considering going to the local Schmitt store to inquire about it there.
Thanks for the fingering chart!!

Mozart's Concerto is one of the corner stones of the clarinet repertoire and was written for the basset clarinet in A. The work is in A Major and there is no Opus number. Kochel numbered all of Mozart's works and the concerto is K. 622. Written in 1791, the year he died, though it was gestating in his head from around the late 1780s according to some scholars.
A search here will uncover reams of info on this stunning work. I fear you have a bogus Mozart concerto.

The horrible 1943 Carl Fischer edition of the Mozart Concerto K622 was also labeled Op.107. The opus numbers no longer have any meaning and probably date back to the mid 1800's when someone needlessly decided to assign opus numbers to Mozart's works.
If you have the awful Carl Fischer / Bellison edition of the Concerto, toss it out and get a better version.

It's not bogus. It's just the Bellison edition.
There are MUCH better versions to use.

It was printed by Cundy-Bettoney Educational Series. The only reason I have this piece of music is because my band director is letting me borrow it, so I didn't really have a choice, and I'm extremely grateful towards her for letting me peruse some of her music.
Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can find a recording (preferably for free online) of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto being played on a Bflat clarinet, NOT basset? Thanks!

I think Andrew Marriner played it on Bb clarinet. You can find it on YouTube.

Hey Bob,
Easy on Toledo. It's not that bad. Nice symphony with two very able clarinetists (married and the recent parents of twin girls). Studying with them is one of my life's great pleasures.
