Re: Band Director teaching open G w/RH down

It is more than possible, of course, to move from any of the throat notes to C smoothly without having any right hand fingers down. So teaching rh-down for any throat note in order to facilitate crossing the break is optional in any case.

I haven't taught beginners for a number of years. When I did, my favorite way to start a student in the clarion register was to start at G5 and work downward, getting step-wise to C and B and then going down over the register change before I had them try to go up. It's easy going down to get the student to keep his right hand in place until he reaches an F or F#. Introducing the clarion as a descent through the right hand avoids many of the problems of trying to get everything covered at once in On Top of Old Smokey or Mary Had a Little Lamb in F (A-C-C).
