Re: Bass Clarinet Upper Range

Every bass clarinet player has trouble reaching the upper register when they first start out. Keep practicing and I'm sure you'll be able to play those notes without even thinking about it!

A great way to practice is to play up to high c, let go of the register key and try and hold the high c as long as you can.

Btw, I guarantee someone is going to tell you that it is because your bass clarinet doesn't have a double register vent. Don't listen to what people say about this. I got through high school on a poorly made Artery just fine.
