The reed is held to the mouthpiece by the ligature (B). Be sure the screws on the ligature are tightened firmly. After assembling the barrel joint (E), upper joint (F), lower joint (G) and bell (H), then insert the mouthpiece into the barrel joint. TUNING THE CLARINET Strike the note “A” on the piano or tuning fork. This note conforms with the note “B” in the clarion (middle) register of the clarinet. If the clarinet is found to be lower in pitch than the piano note, push the mouthpiece in further on the cork of the barrel joint. If the clarinet is higher in pitch than the piano, pull the mouthpiece out so that it does not go so far down on the cork of the barrel joint. For an appreciation of tuning tech- nique it may be noted here that Pitch is determined by the length of the tubing in the instrument. Thus, pulling out the mouthpiece length- ens the tubing, lowering the pitch, and, conversely, pushing” in the mouthpiece shortens the tubing, raising the pitch STANDING POSITION 3 FINGER POSITION The Clarinet, invented about the year 1690 by J. C. Denner, and later improved to its present degree of efficiency by Auguste Buffet, Jr., is, without contradiction, the greatest instrument of the wood wind section in richness of tone and extent of compas. It is not only the soul of military music but one of the principal supports of the orchestra. During the clasical period and well into the nineteenth century, orchestral clarinets were made in three keys: (1) The Clarinet in C, a non-transposing instrument written and soun ig in the key of the composition (2) The Clariner in Bp, 2 transposing instrament, sounding a major second (2 semitones) lower than written, therefore written in the key of two flats less or two sharps more than the key of the composition. (3) The Clarinet in A, a transposing instrument, sounding a minor third lower, and urrefore written in the key of three flats more or three sharps less than the key of the composition. Of these three Clarinets, the first, the non-transposing C Clarinet is obsolete. This leaves us the to choice of two instruments with the same compass of almost four octaves wit which on the Bb Clarinet sounds and on the A Clarinet sounds Im the upper notes of the high register it loses considerably and the tones are screeching, sometimes very disagreesble to the ear and mostly defective, Those who apply themselves too much to the practice of those tones rarely develop 2 good tone in the low register (Chalumeau). So, practically speaking it is inadvisable to go beyond the high G which is the reasonable limitation of the instrument, ‘The Clarinet is divided into three registers: The first, and deepest, register extends from low Ey = Bh = and the second, and middle, register starts at By = and goes to Ch and the third, or high, register starts at Ct ‘The student, in making 2 choice between the Bh and A Clarinets may be guided by the face that there is such a slight difference of quality in the two that not even an expert clarinettst can tell (from its tone quality) whether a passage is being played on the A or Bh instrument. ‘The ae.* tual difference between the two is largely a matter of text book theory rather than practical fact. However, the Bb instrument is used almost exclusively in dance orchestras. and predominantly in symphonic orchestras, The music for the Clarinet, like that of the Violin, Flute, erc., is written in the G clef, and the key in which you are to play is indicated by the key signature placed at the beginning of the compo- sition or strain, The student who expects to enter the field of capable performers must regulate his periods of Practice so that the most may be gotten out of them. Very often the student is improperly advised ‘about the routine to be followed during these practice or study periods, ‘Therefore, the following is recommended as a guide for practicing: The study period should never exceed one hour. Rest at least fifteen minutes between periods and concentrate on something entirely different from music before resuming practice, Good re- sults ate impossible without practicing at least one hour daily, Divide the hour as follows: (1) Ten minutes for scale practice, (2) Ten minutes for sustained tones, including crescendi and diminuendi, G) Twenty minutes for technical exercises (4) Twenty minutes for phrasing lessons. In practice, the student should always mark the bars or phrases that seem difficult and repeat them until they are easy to play. Never think of any passage ac being “hard” (within scan), but say to yourself that it is unfamiliar and needs more practice, THE EMBOUCHURE ‘The manner in which the mouth is formed around the mouthpiece of the instrument is called Embonchure. Insert about half of the mouthpiece into the mouth, the seed facing downward. The ower lip is drawn slightly over the teeth, and the upper lip ic pressed downward to prevent the contact between upper tecth and mouthpiece, Compress the corners of the mouth tightly so that no air can escape while playing, but be very careful that the mouth is not compressed over the mouthpiece, because the reed must have proper play to vibrate in order to acquire roundness and + clearness of tone. TONGUE ACTION ‘The tongue is used to start almost all tones and to produce staccato effects. This is done by touching the point of the mouthpiece with the tongue and immediately retracting it. The use of the tongue to start a tone is called Attack and may be done lightly or sharply as the effect is required. The tongue should be perfectly redaaed in die mouth when playing sustained tnnes, thereby eliminating any possible strain. BREATH CONTROL Inhaling should be done by pushing out the diaphragm thereby filing the lower part of the Jungs, Exhaling should be done by pressing inward with the muscles across the diaphragm. This method, rather than expanding the chest, promotes better breath control and also minimizes fatigue. To inhale while playing, take in the air at the corners of the mouth, being careful to retain the embouchure. VIBRATO “The vibrato on the clarinet is obtained by the vibration or pulsation of the lower jaw with ar up and down motion, This produces clearness and roundness of tone and is a great aid in expression THE VIBRATO SHOULD BE PRACTICED ON SUSTAINED TONES ONLY. THE STUDEN! SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT VIBRATO UNTIL THE EMBOUCHURE HAS BECOME DEFI NITELY FORMED. Failure to observe this will present difficulties that will be hard to eliminate late FIRST TONES TO BE PRACTICED ‘The following is an exercise designed to develop roundness of tone. The notes must be attacked with a sharp stroke of the tongue and the sounds completely sustained, connecting successive notes without a jerk or a perceptible gap. ‘The notes must have the same degree of power and intensity regardless of the intervals between them. Ex.1) The student should practice exercises 1 and 2 until the Embouchure has taken a definite form. PREPARATORY STUDIES FOR THE CHROMATIC SCALE Play slowly and try to give each note 2 round, full ons. [Ex.3) ss fe THE CHROMATIC SCALE Embouchure is well formed. Play the following only after the SCALES Most students overlook the importance of scales when, in reality, every good musician prac- tices. them daily. All scales and exercises must be played very slowly until che scale or exercise is thoroughly familiar. Take breath at the sign, (?).

This is the principal aid in becoming thoroughly famili: wt with the instrument and should be practiced until the sounds of all intervals are thoroughly established in the student's ear, as this facilitates recognition of each interval by its sound. Major and Minor Seconds [Ex. 6] eh 12 STUDIES IN THIRDS Thirds must be considered next. Their frequent appearance in all type: of music indicates that they are the intervals most commonly used.

To become adept at expression, or shading, the student must concentrate on the practice of prolonged sounds or “lorig tones;” such as are found in Ex. 1. This is invaluable aid in che formation of tonal quality. ‘There is one general cule to be observed unless otherwise indicated. This rule consists of swell- ing or filling out the sound when the passage ascends, and in diminishing it when the passage de- scends. ‘There are five principal expression markings used to indicate the different shades of sounds (1) ff denotes that the sound must be loud (torte) and remain so until the next expres- sion mark. To obtain this sound the student must attack the note with a very sharp stroke of the tongue and sustain the degree of sound for the entire duration of the phrase or passage. (2) p indicates that the sound must be soft (pizno). To obtain this the student muse attack the nore with a very gentle stroke of the tongue and sustain the degree of sound for the en- tire duration of the phrase or passage. (3) > indicates that the sound must begin loud (forte) and gradually diminish in che degree of sound until it becomes soft- (piano). Should the sign appear at medium loud (mezzo forte) then diminish to very soft (pianissimo) . (4) <= denotes that the sound is started softly and increased to the degree of loudness indi cated. This is, of course, the reverse of the above. (5) <== is a combination of the two markings explained above. “The sound begins softly, increases in volume to the center, which is the loudest point, then diminishes in the same pro- portion, arriving at the original degree of sound. 23 24 ‘The appearance of a line over 2 note F indicates that the note is to be held for its full value The word tenuto (abbr.-ten.) is sometimes used. The appearance of a dot over a noe f indicates that the note is to be played for only a part of its value with the remaining value in rest. Thus the passage ff ff wouldsourd Px Pr prpy ‘The sign ~ known as an accent mark, indicates that the note above which it appears is to receive stronger dynamic value. To indicate the different degrees of intensity of sound, we use the signs below: pp (pianissimo) very soft or piano P (piano) soft, subdued in quality wp (mezzo piano) _—moderately soft nf (mezzo forte) half loud, moderately forte fF (forte) loud Sf (fortissimo) very loud Sometimes the sign ppp is used to indicate the very softest sound that can be used; fff is used to indicate the greatest degree of intensity possible. A loud sound immediately followed by a soft one is marked fp (forte piano), and the sfor- zando indicates that one note is to be attacked in a very loud or strong manner. The pause A called fermata, when appearing over a note, indicates that the note is held for an indefinite length; and when appearing over a double bar /\- indicates a pause of indefinite length before proceeding. 25 STUDIES IN EXPRESSION ‘The student should exercise great care in attacking the notes in the following exercises. Let the tongue action be as light as possible when attacking the notes marked pp, and more pronounced for the louder nuances, Do not make any crescendes or diminuendos on one note but sustain each with the same degree of sound. When playing ff strive for good tone quality. It is the misinformed musician who thinks that ff indicates 2 loud, coarse tone. This ecercixe may also be practiced one octare higher IEx. 16) PP OP ~ f PP ~ fF of eae Fe POP if f Ff bp mp of fF pp op nf of mp Ny P F ff PPP a ff ‘The above exercise is important practice and all notes on the clarinet should be practiced in a similiar manner, In the following exercise strive for an even tonal quality regardless of the degree of sound.

The fol- lowing exercise is a duet. The student would do well to practice this and the duets to come with a fellow student as a first step to ensemble playing.
