Alitissimo Notes

Author: PortBluePickles

Hey there,

This is my fifth year playing clarinet. As a high school sophomore I am starting to get pieces that are more and more advanced thrown at me. I'm starting to struggle because a lot of my parts are heavy in the altissimo register. I can get those notes out easily and all, but getting them to actually sound good has always been a problem for me.

Does anyone have any tips on what I can do to make my altissimo notes sound in tune and have good tone?

I have a Leblanc Bliss with a Vandoren 5RV Lyre mouthpiece and Olegature ligature. I mostly use size 3 Vandoren 56 Rue Lepic reeds.

Thanks so much,
--Emily
