Can someone please tell me how to play high Bb? I would like play the scale in 3 octaves.

there are probably tons of ways to play a Bb - just want to know the common way to get myself started.

Coming from the high A:

[A6] TR oxx/ooo ((F#/C#)

Go to:

[Bb6] TR (G#) oxx (C#/G#) / ooo (F#/C#)

or

[Bb6] R (no thumb) oxx/ ooo (F#/C#)

Many other ways to play high Bb - some better than others

A couple more ways are:

Sp. Th. xxxC#/G#|xxxF/C

and

Sp. thumb OFF xxx|xxxF/C (useful for clarinets with artic. C#/G#)

I use the long high F plus the throat Ab key and the right little finger F/C key.

Check out my website on the clarinet fingering chart. I have several good fingerings there as well. ESP eddiesclarinet.com
