Doing a turn on a Clarinet is relatively simple, so long as you're not doing it over the bridge (middle of the staff B to middle of the staff C).

What you do is take your starting note (let's use G), go up 1 step (A), go back to your staring note (G), go down a step (F), and go back to your starting note (G).

To have this sound correct, you usually want to do a turn as quickly as possible, and near the end of the note value.

Good luck!

A clarinet roll is played the same way as a drum roll. It is similar to a trill except of playing two different notes, you continuously play the same note. The number of notes to play in one beat is proportional to the number of slashed through the "stick" part of the note. You sum of the length of the notes should be equal to the length of the note without slashes. The number of notes in one beat is 2^n where n is the number of slashed through the stick "part" of the note.

As for technicality, to physically do a clarinet roll just tongue quickly. If you have a 32nd note roll (or more), adding a strong vibrato will give the illusion that you are playing 32nd notes.

The song is called "Row, row, row your boat." Rowing is a way of propelling a small boat without the use of a motor.

If you can play a B flat scale on your clarinet, you can play this tune, which has a range of one octave. You play the low B flat three times, then C and D. Then you play, in succession, D, C, D, E flat, F. Then the high B flat three times, F three times, D three times, and the low B flat three times. Finally you play a little scale downwards: F, E flat, D, C, and the low B flat.

That is sounding B flat of course. It is written (assuming you have a B flat clarinet) in the key of C, where the notes are: C,C,C,D,E; E,D,E,F,G; C',C',C',G,G,G,E,E,E,C,C,C; G,F,E,D,C.
