Hello, I'm a ninth grader who plays bass clarinet and I'm working my butt off to improve my range. I need to be able to play a two octave B flat chromatic scale but I can't hit the high B, high B flat, and high C. I can hit a high C sharp, but not a high C. Can anyone offer any advice besides passing out for attempted playing :I

First of all, bass clarinet players rule. I played from mid-7th grade to the end of my senior-year final exams in high school.

My high school band instructor gave everyone a Range Extender warm-up sheet. It was a pentatonic scale starting from certain notes and the highest note was higher than notes normally played in our music. Range Extenders really helped me.
