To play low C you need to press down all the home keys using your index, middle, and ring fingers on both hands. Then press down the regular thumb key. Finally, on your right hand press down the key right beside the pinkie key and the one above it. Then just blow into the Flute lightly. It helps if you go down the scale from b flat if you can't get the note out on its own.

If this didn't help, try Google-ing a flute fingering chart and click images.

How do you play a B sharp on a clarinet?

The piano is a "C" instrument, meaning when it plays a C you hear a C. The clarinet is a "B-flat" instrument which means when a clarinet plays a "C" is sounds a "B-flat." I know this sounds confusing and the easiest thing you can do is play, rewrite the clarinet notes a whole step higher than the piano part.


What are the names of clarinets?

Piccolo clarinet From the smallest to the biggest, here it is: ~ Soprano clarinet ~ Basset clarinet ~ Basset horn ~ Alto clarinet ~ Bass clarinet ~ Contra-alto clarinet ~ Contrabass clarinet


What is the difference between the C B A and the G clarinet?

In an orchestra, the "normal key" is C. So, if you are playing a C note on a C clarinet it will sound as a C. On a B(B flat) clarinet, when you play C it will sound B flat. On an A clarinet a C will sound as if A was played and consequently on a G clarinet a C will sound as a G. So for the clarinets B, A and G, music needs to be transposed (changed), so that we play the correct notes. This is done so we can switch between different clarinets. Otherwise we would need to learn different fingerings for all the different clarinets. The C clarinet is not transposed and we play it as it is. I hope this makes sense... :)

Why is a clarinet in b flat key?

The Bb Clarinet is the most common type of clarinet. The Bb shows that the clarinet is tuned to that note, just like an Eb clarinet is tuned to an Eb. If a Bb clarinet and a flute both play an "A" the notes will sound different, because they are tuned to different notes. In order to make the notes sound the same, the Bb Clarinet must play a semitone up, which is a "Bb".
