Q. i need to be able to hit a high b flat in 2 weeks for an audition, but i can only sometimes hit a high g! what are some quick excercizes that will make me be able to hit it more? right now im just going up the scales with 'do re mi fa so la te do'. i practice it every day for right now cuz im on break.
i have a vocal coach [but i dont see her untill after this audition]
also its only one note that i have o sing high b
A. I don't want to put cold water on this, but attempting to sing three half-notes higher than your highest note in your current range in two week is not safe. Not at all safe, no way. I agree with the above that you might be auditioning for a soprano part when you are really a mezzo; this is dangerous, as forcing your voice into performing that higher tessitura will be an overall painful and damaging process.
If you still want to go out for this part, I suggest working with the piano to see if you can modify that note. For example, if you know solfege, there is a place in a song I'm singing where the actual music is written to go from Do to Fa, but it sounds just find going Do to Sol or Do to Mi as well. Also, you might be able to sing the note down a third, as that would be a G-flat and within your range. Or look at the chord in the accompaniment when you are supposed to sing the B-flat. Is there a G-flat in the chord? Try singing that and see if it sounds okay. No G-flat there? Try picking another note in the chord that is below the B-flat. Don't forget to look in the bass clef accompaniment, too, as you could just sing one of those notes an octave higher.
I'd e-mail your voice teacher and tell her/him about the situation; I suspect they will advise you strongly against trying for such a large extension of your range in such a short period of time, warning you of possibly damaging your chords. Please find another way around this note than trying to screech it out in two weeks; take care of your instrument, you can't get a new one!
How to transpose piano to B flat Clarinet music?
Q. I LOVE Taylor Swift, I purchased a song book that was for piano and it only had the right hand, so treble clef. I really want to play it on my clarinet and playing the piano music doesn't sound right! How do I transpose the music?
A. If you're playing it alone and not playing along to a recording - then you don't need to transpose it at all. It doesn't matter what key your clarinet is in if you're the only one playing.
If you want to transpose the part for clarinet then you play every pitch up one full step (or 2 half steps) to put the part in your key. Doing that will allow you to play along with a guitar or piano player reading the same part. So, every Bb you see in the music becomes a C, every C becomes D, every Eb becomes F - everything up one whole step. [this is the same way you determine which scale to play when asked for a concert scale]
A music book with only right hand (usually has chord symbols and lyrics) is called a "lead sheet" or "fake sheet". It's not really for "piano" at all - it's for whoever would like to play it. Rock, Jazz, and Folk musicians use those all the time.
Hint, it's easier for you to take all of the chords down one full step for a guitar player than to take every note up a full step for you. âªâ« Being able to do this at sight is a really good skill to have though. And, yes, this is indeed called "transposing" because clarinet is a transposing instrument. By raising every pitch a full step, the effective key signature is changed as well. But, that particularity is of no consequence to a player using this transposing method.
How do I transpose from one key to another?
Q. Okay so I play Euphonium which is in the key of B flat (I play in treble) . I'm trying to transpose a piano piece that's in the key of B (five sharps), but nothing seems to be working. Please help!
A. Bb major to B major here is the chords from Bb to B
Bbmaj ------------- Bmaj
Cm -------------- C#m
Dm ---------------D#m
Ebmaj -----------------Emaj
F7 -----------------F#7
Gm ---------------G#m
Adim ---------------A#dim
Basically the chord remains the same, being a major minor dim or dom just move the pitch a semitone
