Frequently Asked Questions:

Why do the notes F sharp and G flat have the exact same fingerings?

Because they produce the exact same pitches. Notes that have different names but sound alike are called enharmonic equivalents.
The following groups of pitches are enharmonic equivalents and sound exactly the same:
F sharp = G flat
G sharp = A flat
A sharp = B flat
C sharp = D flat
D sharp = E flat

I think that I'm using the right fingers, but I am not sure that I'm right. How can I tell if I'm playing the correct note?

Follow the links to the fingering charts with sound. Click on the desired note and see if it sounds like the note that you are playing on your clarinet.
