Right, so I already posted this in the musician's forum, but I know there must be people in here who don't go there, that can help me even more.
Ok, so this summer, one of my goals is to memorize and play accurately as best I can the upper registers on flute and clarinet.
Flute, I memorized up to Ab, after that, it takes a bit for me to remember my way up. I want to go up to C and I'll be happy.
Now clarinet is harder. I'm not as comfortable on 'net as I wish I was, but I'm working on that : )
I'm comfortable up to the lower altissimo. After that, I barely know the fingerings.
Now I'm trying to get up to G, into the upper altissimo, is that a good place to set up camp for a month or w/e? I want to be able to get everything from C to G before i move on. Is that reasonable?
How much higher should I keep going?
Btw, I know pretty much all the flute trill fingerings I'd need. Clarinet I know barely any, how many of those should I learn?

Clarinet I know barely any, how many of those should I learn? sorry for such a late reply, that seems to be comfortable for the clarinet the upper register can be such a pain to hit on clarinet. I seem to get by fine with those fingerings as well unfortunately i'm not much of a clarinet player so i cant give much good advise on this.

ok : ) i'm having trouble getting bends on clarinet
do you have any advice?
because of that, if i try clarinet vibrato, it's really shallow and unconvincing : (
sax is a bit better ^^;

*cough*. Well, I've played clarinet for.....3 years..But never jazz. Silly teachers. So I can't help you with bend stuff..
I don't know the fingerings past a double high D. And don't normally need to use them past there or and Eb, F. I think you'd be doing good if you learnt to a double high C- and then worked on it so that you can get a good tone in the higher range. Lord knows a clarinet in the leger lines can sounds pretty awful.
Trills: pfff. You can figure them out yourself. Just know some alternate fingerings (which you can also figure out yourself) and those come in handy with everything from trills to hard passages.

And that's exactly why I want to know my trill keys ^^

Ash Rail Now clarinet is harder. I'm not as comfortable on 'net as I wish I was, but I'm working on that : ) I'm comfortable up to the lower altissimo. After that, I barely know the fingerings. Now I'm trying to get up to G, into the upper altissimo, is that a good place to set up camp for a month or w/e? I want to be able to get everything from C to G before i move on. Is that reasonable? How much higher should I keep going? Btw, I know pretty much all the flute trill fingerings I'd need. Clarinet I know barely any, how many of those should I learn?
yeah G is a great note to keep working on (that's as far as I am wink ) and I'm trying to get those going before I continue
continue your exspansion of range as far as you want to go (or until the pressure kills you wink ) to help you with this, I suggest that you try to gliss as far as you can down from the first C above the staff, get really good at that, and it will be easier to get the altissimo
for clarinet, basically experiment to see which fingerings sound the same, that's the key to get all of the trill fingerings you need...so as soon as you find a difficult/impossible set of fingerings try to find a way around it (fellow clarinetists in the vicinity will tell you if your fingering is legit or not 3nodding )

i dont really know that much about the clarinet but i think that you should go up as far you can go without killing your hearing wink but i think that you should go as high as you want but be careful because the clarinet can be really hard to control once you get in to the high ranges. sry i cant help you more but thats all i can do. sweatdrop sad
