All about clarinets



The Clarinet



Ms. Crosbie my beloved music teacher, gave my class and myself a instrument assignment as we all play an instrument in the class we are to research the instruments on the websites she provided for us. The Clarinet:  The instrument family that the clarinet plays in is woodwind.  The Clarinet plays in the treble clef.  The instrument was invented in the late 1600s.  A company in Germany invented the Clarinet. The Clarinet plays in the low orchestra. The way to make a sound with a clarinet is by using a reed to attach to the mouth piece and blow into it gently while "tonguing" basically saying ta silently then press the buttons on the keys. The way you assemble the clarinet attach the two middle pieces thje upper joint(1) and lower joint(2) to it then add the bell(3) then put the mouth piece(4) in it next attach the ligature(5) as you attach the ligature put the wet reed in.  Before playing make sure the instrument is going to be taken out of the case properly and you are not going to destroy it by knocking all the contents out of the case. After wards you must use a little cleaning apparatus first you must remove the mouthpiece take the more heavy piece of the (let's call it a spit dryer) spit dryer slide it through the clarinet and pull the rest of it out of the other end then carefully put it away in the proper places.

Just using the mouth piece put it ina soapy serum once you have put it in there you dry it off
