Those arent the ones she needs though...hmm, maybe you should check before snapping.
Depending on which ones you need, i MIGHT be able to help you out. last year during concert band, i played a scale in three octaves for chair placement test. i know how to play the notes, but when i play them they are horribly out of tune, but i can tell you the fingerings. email me and tell me which scales you need.

no, heather is right. the fingering charts on here are the most compiled i've ever seen anywhere. and if your notes are coming out flat Ambrosia, try to use your embouchure and make it tighter. not to pinch the note out, but to firm up. also, sometimes when you learn the altissimo fingerings you don't put down a right pinky key. if not, put usually the G#/Eb key. that will raise the pitch of the altissimo notes. another tibbit is your oral cavity shouldn't be open sot hat there is a "ha" sound of air. it should be fast like a cats hiss. hope this helps.

well gee, it is a matter of opinion. most of them are helpful but i didnt exactly find the ones i prefered for scales, i was just suggesting that i have a whole bunch of chart from my instructor that are really descriptive and tell how to get the right pitch out on certain notes and such, and i was just suggesting that if those were the prefered ones, they could email me and ask for a copy because they really worked for me and helped me getting my pitch out and stuff...right back atcha heather.

G'day
hey the fourth b and c need aLOT of pressure and first off, it'll feel as if your clarinet can handle the pressure. the fingering for the fourth C is the index fingers of both hands (so, one and one) overblown. essentially, an overblown unorthodox high G. high B is the first two fingers of each hand overblown.
happy playing!!!

If you've never played the third octave, you won't be able to learn in just a week. It needs months of practice to develop your embouchure to the stage where you are able to play those high notes. You'll also need to advance to a harder reed, and that will take a corresponding advance in embouchure as well.
