Complete guess – I'm not a clarinettist. Are all of your lower keys sealing properly?

take it to the shop, i'd say.

sounds like a mechanical problem (assuming you could play the notes before)

Hmmm...maybe a leak. For anything higher than the Bb ill say to try to get you embechure better. I don't know how long you've been playing so saying that may help. I can play higher than a G which is Said to be the highest note for clarinet but i know music unlitmited in many ways so try hard every time. If you get a note but then it dies out, YOU GOT IT! Just improve that embechure. Something that shows how good your embechure is by playing a B then hold it for a while then remove the register key. If you can keep it as long as your breath can hold then its good. If you think its your clarinet then try using someone elses that you KNOW works. If its your clarinet then cover all the holes in your clarinet blow into it without the mouthpiece or barrel. If you hear or feel any air coming out then its your clarinet. Grrrr....thats all i know. Well your welcome! and sorry for writing so long.

Ummm...ok. Since you say that you mouth is umm..wierd, then try another instrument. Its pretty hard to JUST change but it can be useful. I think the flute will be good to play. I play it and the first time you play it you will get constant light headedness. Trumpet realy hurts your lips and Sax doesnt require all that much embechure except on low notes which JUST require for you to drop your jaw. Get a good pick because the clarinet requires A WHOLE LOT of embechure.

um maybe you werent listening but ive been playing the clarinet for 3 1/2 years so i cant just switch like that because im in an advanced band and if i switch to a new instrument ill be put in a lower class with beginners so i cant switch.. besides i dont like the flute heh no offense to any flute players. so im taking it to the shop after im done with work then hopefully they can find the problem with it and fix it asap cuz i have alot of solos in my songs. but gordo thanks for the input

if you've been able to get hte notes out in the past and this is a recent development, either youve done something weird to your embochure or its the horn.

if you've never been able to get them out its probably you.

don't switch instruments just because you've found something that will take work- with taht strategy, you'd never become proficient at anything!

try slurring up/down to the notes before trying to hit them isolated...

you could try play testing someone elses clarinet and having them play yours to determine if it is your clarinet or you.
