The left hand is up, the right hand is down, and the thumb of the left hand blocks the back hole of the clarinet-also called the treble hole or the zero hole.

The names of sound holes on the front of clarinet are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 holes from top to bottom respectively. The second, third and fourth fingers of the left hand block the holes of clarinet 1, 2 and 3 (note that the little finger of the left hand naturally stops above the clarinet, so as not to affect the flexibility of the second, third and fourth fingers of the left hand), the big finger of the right hand is placed under the clarinet to stabilize the clarinet, and the rest fingers block the remaining sound holes of the clarinet in turn.

When blocking the clarinet sound hole with your fingers, you should pay attention to blocking the sound hole with your fingertips, so that the sound hole is closed tightly, and the left thumb is closed with the abdomen close to the fingertips, so as to facilitate the opening and closing of the treble hole.
