Question: BAND GEEKS!!: How do you trill from middle Bb to C on the clarinet!?
I have a solo for all-state that has a trill from Bb to C and I'm trying to find the easier way to trill this!. Please help meeeee!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Play the Bb normally (register key with A key) and then add the top of the four RH side keys (I think this is right, I haven't got my clarinet here so can't try it)!. It's definitely one of those keys (if the top one is wrong, try the top two together), experiment until you find the right one!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Practice your scales like your Bb and C scale go over them until you remember that's my technique!.!.!.!. Oh ya and if you have problems with some notes hold them for a whole note!.!.!.!. and maybe instead of playing Bb play A sharp and for C play B sharp!.!.!. these notes are basically in the same octave oh and play your major and minor scales too!.!.!.!.

Oh wow!. I hate trilling that! AHH!
Well you can keep your right hand covering the keys for C, so you only have to trill with your left hand!. It will still sound right!. But it still doesn't make it easy, only less hard!. lol!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Keep the Bb fingering and add the lower two of those four keys you play with your right forefinger!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
