Fingerings above C7

Author: ThatPerfectReed

Can anyone refer me to, aside from maybe Tom Ridemour's Clarinet Fingerings book, fingerings above C7?

For those who have Tom's book, can you tell me if it does include such fingerings?

I can't seem to find an answer to this in the BB's search history. If others can, I'd love a reference.

Thanks!

There's always the Eb clarinet.

(I'm glad you said that. I was afraid of being flamed for suggesting this, I admit)

just try them all and find what is the best in tune, and what makes the most sense to move from one note to another.

Is there a specific reason that you want to learn these notes? a particular piece with some? or just for your own interest

Ridenour's book goes up to an E7.

Alan Sim's book goes up to a G7.

Opperman's book also goes up to a G7.

or Mate Bekavic

playing up in the stratosphere.

or maybe just fictional stories of music teachers who inspire quitting clarinetists to some day become governor of their State

It's how they play that high without the tone going all screechy that's impressive.

Why not whistle, it'd sound better
