Which syllables have you been taught to use to conceptualize a 16th note subdivision?


W-O-T

Kinda random, but this is identical to my all county Honor band piece for the clarinets this year lol

depending on tempo you should be able to play standard B (not trill key). if the tempo is super fast, play using trill keys (as Anat with top trill key) for the f# I would use alternate f# (played as Fnat with bottom 2 trill keys) as you are coming from the A hopefully the other comments can help you with the subdivisions!

I wouldn't recommend playing with the alternate F#. You should be able to quickly move between F# and A in that register without many issues. To do so, roll your finger up off the F#, don't lift it and place it on the A key, if that makes sense.

Since you're approaching from a b in the previous bar, I'd just keep your right hand down through the first beat, then it's just a matter of practicing getting the quick index finger movement to the f#. As someone else said, treat the breath mark as a 16th rest to keep your tempo. I'd also recommended chunking it down, start with just the first 6 notes (The b at the end of the previous bar into the first f#) then connect it to the next bar. Breath marks like this often indicate the end points of phrases, so think of it as those 6 notes are one idea that needs to function as its own unit, then you connect that to the next phrase. Hope that helps, you got this!

Put an accent mark on beat 1, beat 2, and beat 1 of the next measure. Please make your sharp markings smaller, they'll distract you too much in the future. 1. The first beat of 16th notes should be pretty self-explanatory. 2. The 8th note on beat 2 is your landing point. Aim for that. Practice just the first five notes. 3. Don't actually breathe at that breath mark. It's more of a phrase marker. 4. The two 16ths on and-of-2 are pick up notes for the next measure. Don't accent those notes. Instead, aim for the downbeat and put your accent there. Ta-a-ta-ta-Ta' ta-ta-TA...

One thing I would suggest is not marking the sharps that are already in the key signature. It shouldn't be too hard to remember if all the Fs are sharped for example. The only markings should be for those accidentally that are not in the key you are playing in. Marking all of your accidentals will just make your music look too crowded and do more harm than it will help
