Line #8, 2nd measure (no key sig)
top line F# trill marking has a # over it. do I trill to G#? How?


Line #8, 3rd measure (no key sig)

middle line B# the trill marking above the note also has a # sign above the trill sign. what note am I trilling to, a C#?

Play the F# with the "fork fingering":

TR x x x / x o I o

Trill to G# with the 1st finger of the left hand.

Not to be unhelpful, but your lesson should be the ideal place to figure out trill fingerings.

thanks for the help.

well, teacher told me to pick 2 lines on that page. last time i picked 2 that had staccato exercises. this time i thought I would try some with trills. I didnt know I wouldnt know how to do them when I was at my previous lesson and i dont want to wait a week to ask my teacher.

a little guidance before I get to my lesson cant hurt. she can help me further when I get there.

1. A trill is an ornament and should be clearly audible.

2. Therefore, if you have the choice between a fingering that's too wide and one that's too narrow, choose the wide one.

3. The lower note is the main one and should always be in tune.

4. If possible, do the first beat of the trill with the standard fingerings, to get the proper tuning in the listener's mind, and yours. Then switch to the trill fingering, doing whatever you can with your embouchure to bring the upper note closer to being in tune.

A trill is usually to the next note higher in the key signature unless it has a change of accidental. By the way, I have a trill fingering chart on my website in the clarinet fingering chart page, check it out. GBK gave you a good answer though for the ones you asked about.

Oops, sorry about that but my fingering chart is only for the altissimo register.

The "Woodwind Fingering Guide" on this website has a trill fingering chart listing no fewer than 5 different possibilities for the F#-G# trill. You might want to bookmark that page along with Ed's.

I can suggest that in a situation like this it is a good idea to try to find the fingerings by yourself. Not by trying to find a trill fingering chart, but by playing your clarinet and looking for ways to do it. Sometimes by searching for something specific you also find a general new idea of how to do a lot of other things.

I did try to find them before asking. After that, I still didnt know the first one and I thought I knew the second one but needed a little reassurance.
