Okay well I've been playing for about 5, 6 years now so I should know this and I normally do but I forgot, and it's bugging the hell out of me! What is that lil sideways "S" thingy that's above the music called again? X-mas break, not to mention really easy high school music that I've been playing since school started, has made my brain go out the window and no one who knows anything about instraments that I know is online! Anyways thanks, sorry for the stupid question, I just needed a quick answer. =)

i think thats called a turn. you play 1 note below the starting note, the note itself, and 1 note lower. something like that. im not positive but maybe that will help you remember.

Let me look it up in my theory book...
Janlynns's right, though it can be placed ABOVE a note or BETWEEN two notes.
This is how they say to do above (in piano theory, that is, which I hope applies for clarinet in this case):
Play it rapidly
Start on the note above the written note.
Then the written note itself
Then the note below
Then hold the written note for the rest of the count. Do all this at about 32nd note speed.
Now for in between:
Place a turn (as mentioned above) near the middle of the first note, and then follow into the second note at the end of it.
It makes more sense with pictures, sorry. Hope I could be of at least SOME use.
And remember, no questions are stupid, only the people who ask them. And believe me, this was NOT a case where the question-asker was stupid.

Before I left to go on my break, my conducting teacher told my class to "never stop learning." Always remember its okay to ask questions. I am always asking questions!
Have a happy New Year.

The only "stupid" person is the one who doesn't ask the question!

There is a gruppetto (turn) and an inverted gruppetto. One goes up and then down and the other is the opposite. The easy way to keep this straight is simply to follow the directions of the humps. If the first hump is up, go up first. If it is down, do down first.

Dee is (as usual) correct. You can find a good explanation of "turns" and other embelishment figures in the Rubank Advanced Method for Clarinet, by Gower and Voxman. And no question is stupid, unless you were not listening to your wife when she told you the first time. Good Clarineting and Happy New Year--we certainly could use one!!!

What is it about this place that makes so many people call themselves 'stupid'?
Is it a personally inadequate condition of clarinet players? An American disease? A fashion? Attention seeking? Weird!
