Re: Adjusting to A-clarinet

Start on your A and play the written pitch scales on the A as well as the B flat, it will help your little fingers get used to the extra length and the slightly lower position of the right elbow and wrist. Play some easier etudes and rep that's not normally for A clarinet on the A, again, to get used to the longer instrument. I do something similar when I get to play E flat (soprano) clarinet, though haven't played that in 10 years.
