Re: Learning Bass Clarinet

Also I think it helps to approach the bass clarinet as the unique instrument that it is. The sort of things you do on soprano to get a good altissimo are NOT what you do on bass. I'd concentrate on getting a good bass clarinet sound on the middle of the staff C through the next higher G FIRST. Then worry about the transition between those notes and the chalumeau. The rest of the clarion and altissimo notes are yet a bit more different from the initial clarion. It's a matter of "feel."
