Greetings,
Chris is quite correct, when playing the alto clarinet (or the alto sax, baritone sax or any Eb instrument for that matter) and reading bass clef, you simply read the music as treble clef and add 3 sharps to the key signature. I used to do this all the time in high school. I played the baritone sax in the band and the alto clarinet in the orchestra. Our band did not have any baritiones, so instead of the thrilling bartitone sax parts, I played the baritone bass clef part. And in the orchestra, I played the 2nd bassoon part on the alto clarinet, our high school was fortunate, while we may not have had any baritones, we did have an oboe and a bassoon.
