  • A Virtual Clarinet lets musicians, singers, songwriters, producers, and beginners play clarinet notes directly in their browser without needing a physical instrument.

    Whether you're practicing melodies, exploring scales, or experimenting with woodwind arrangements, this free online clarinet provides an interactive way to develop musical ideas.

    How to Use the Virtual Clarinet

    Click or tap the note buttons to play individual clarinet pitches, or use your computer keyboard to perform short melodies.

    Choose between B♭, A, and C clarinet settings, adjust the volume, and experiment with different synthesized clarinet sounds.

    Learn Clarinet Notes and Fingerings

    The virtual clarinet includes simplified fingering illustrations to introduce the instrument's basic finger-hole patterns.

    Real clarinet playing also requires thumb, pinky, register, and auxiliary keys, so a complete fingering chart is recommended when learning the physical instrument.

    Understand Clarinet Transposition

    The B♭ clarinet is a transposing instrument. When a player reads and plays a written C, the sounding concert pitch is B♭.

    The virtual clarinet displays both written notes and concert pitches to help musicians understand these differences when practicing or arranging music.

    Practice Clarinet Scales

    Use the built-in scale finder to explore major, minor, pentatonic, blues, and other scales.

    The scale finder accounts for clarinet transposition, making it useful for understanding how written clarinet notes relate to concert keys.

    Virtual Clarinet for Singers and Songwriters

    Singers can use the virtual clarinet to practice matching pitches, explore melodic intervals, and strengthen their musical ear.

    Songwriters and producers can experiment with clarinet melodies, countermelodies, and woodwind parts for jazz, classical, pop, R&B, gospel, and other musical styles.

    Explore Clarinet Sounds

    Switch between classical, warm, bright, airy, and jazz-style synthesized clarinet tones.

    Adjust breathiness, vibrato, and articulation to hear how different sound characteristics affect a musical phrase.

    Record Your Clarinet Melodies

    The built-in recorder captures note timing and durations so you can listen back to short musical ideas.

    You can also copy the note sequence for reference when practicing, composing, or arranging music.

    Tip: Start with a simple five-note scale and practice playing each note slowly. Try singing each pitch before playing it on the virtual clarinet to strengthen your ear training and improve note recognition.
