It's a fantastic instrument, although not the easiest one to get started on because of all the different fingerings you need to learn. A standard clarinet, competently played, has a range of almost 4 octaves (chalumeau E to altissimo C). I've only hit that high C a few times so far, but I'm getting there.
Sounds complicated. I always couldn't wrap my head around the concept of blowing and moving the fingers with it, but keep practicing. Loving the instrument is one basic key, I think getting the C will open the road to getting the E, the concept always stays the same.
Not an expert, I never held a clarinet in my life (love its sound; though). Can I attend ? sure I'll hear some good tunes
