The Clarinet BBoard

Re: Fingering question

Author: gwie  Date:   2018-01-30 15:16 For years, I preferred the LH C and RH B as the default, and on a well-regulated instrument it really doesn't make much of a difference. I can see the need to use RH C more often if whatever key you are playing in might require a slide over the Eb (and your clarinet doesn't have the auxiliary Eb lever for the LH). It's important to be able to do both; I write out an exercise for my students to ascend/descend through that physical range of the instrument in both octaves, so that they can go to whichever arrangement is best suited for the musical situations they run into. I didn't have an auxiliary Eb lever on any clarinet I owned until this past year, so it's been a bit of a learning process to "re-wire" my approach to the pinky fingers.
