What is a Chromatic Scale clarinet?
The Chromatic Scale is a scale made up entirely of half-steps. It starts and ends on the same pitch, for a total of 13 pitches. You can start on any pitch, and end on that same pitch. We use SHARPS for note names ASCENDING the scale, and FLATS for note names DESCENDING.
What is the highest note a clarinet can play?
The clarinet has a range of four octaves! On the clarinet, playing C and blowing hard produces a high G. The clarinet is the only wind instrument that can reach such high notes. With more tone holes than the recorder and an extended register, the clarinet takes full advantage of this property.

What is the easiest scale to play for the clarinet?
Honestly, the first few scales are fairly easy: C, F, Bb, Eb, G, D and A. You will probably learn each of these really quickly. So, if you do, move onto the next scales: Ab, Db, Gb(F#), E and B(Cb) **{Gb(F#) are enharmonic notes meaning one pitch with two names. This goes the same for B(Cb)}**.
What is a concert C on clarinet?
Concert C is their D, Concert Ab is their Bb. Alto and baritone saxes, alto clarinet and most alto horns are Eb instruments: when they play a C it sounds like a Eb on the piano. So, if they want to play a concert Bb scale, they start on a G (they have to think up a six steps in the scale – or down a minor third).
Is saxophone harder than clarinet?
Saxophone is simply an easier instrument than clarinet overall, and is more commonly used in rock music. It’s the natural choice. That being said, oboists often find clarinet easier because the embouchure is a bit firmer, which they’re used to.
