Wow your stupid. There is no b#. One step up from a Bb is a C. Bb to B is a half step, and B to C is a half step. Half plus half is one step you stupid people. He did that right ive been playing for 9 years taken music theory and everything. This is correct and very helpful to people trying to improv. I just don't recomend
@superdakota2012 Don't be so quick to call people stupid. Theoretically B# is a B# and a C is C. If you have been taking any music theory for so long then you should know this. B# and C are ENHARMONIC, these two notes have different functions.. Knowing music theory you should know the circle of fifths meaning you're familiar with all major and minor scales. C# Major scale has sharps in F#-C#-G#-D#-A#-E#-B#. Maybe you should take more lessons in theory?
that was great to hear you can play so many instruments. i'm 22 years old, i've played guitar for about 10 years and i can play drums well enough but i want to start learning more instruments. i've just started to learn piano and flute. later i really want to learn saxes and trumpet but i thought i was getting into too much would you advise otherwise?
@PandasNoMore I ran in to the same problem. Try the Eb clarinet. It reads alto sax music and is about one octave higher than the alto sax. Trust me it takes like one hour tops to et used to and to transfer the scales to the key of Eb. Never give up Bb clarinet though.
:O I've been playing the clarniet for three years and I've constantly tried to join jazz band but my instructor told me that clarinets weren't fit for jazz band. You sir have proved him wrong, thank you.
@mikenz06 That's right. I can play just about any instrument at an average level. So I apologize to you for being just an average player of all instruments.
@lsdvine Don't need too mate there is enough stuff on here to keep people occupied forever. And why would I put all my hard earned experience out there for free? what do you do for a living? I have earned my way as a pro musician all my life so you want a lesson that's gonna cost you. Nothing personal just business. and maybe I was a bit harsh on Johnny but if you are going to put stuff out there make sure you have the ability.
There is a B#. But when you see B# you have to play a C. but in theory sure there is a B#. When you have a note that you play the same, but scribe different, we call that just like IDrAsianl said; enharmonic.
As far as I know, there is no B#. Try looking it up on your fingering charts. You won't find it. You can also learn your sharps and flats by looking at the black keys on the piano. If you do read B#, play C because it is equivalent to what B# should be. The same goes with E#-- it is really F, and Fb is an E.
He is talking about Bb concert pitch which would be the C major scale on the clarinet. Plus half of you are talking about notes rather than concert pitch. And there is a B#, its called enharmonics.
I read somewhere that its better for us not to do so because it involves our changing our embouchure which we as clarinetists should not do. I really do not know if this is correct but that's what I remember reading.
@cookieman5 "changing your embouchure" - this is only a concern if you're a new player and you also want to play classical music, or win prizes at solo/ensemble contest or audition for honor band. You need to have a very solid concept of what a good classical embouchure is (and how to produce a good tone) before you play around with bending notes and so forth.
But if all you want to do is play jazz (or klezmer, etc) then just go for it.
@tutorial1997 wth are you talking about? B to C is a half step, youd have to take 2 half steps to reach C if it was a whole step, but you only take one. A to C is 1 and a half steps it would be A##, you would have to pass Bb (counts as half) then to B (counts as a whole step) then to C (counts as a 1 1/2 steps).
OMFG...WTF are 'YOU' talking about,its 3 half steps which is 1 and a half step.
B# = Cb,so taking a half step down from C is a B# and then you go down another and thats B and that is alredy a whole step(2 half steps) from B to C.Then you must go down another half to get to Bb.
@tutorial1997 I know this was forever ago.. but still. It cracks me up to see someone SO sure about this incorrect information. When you tell someone to think twice next time, it's better that YOU actually know what you're talking about, which you obviously don't.

His transitions from the upper register to the chalumeau are so smooth you don't even recognize that he's transitioning. Nice improvisation too.
