Trilling in the altissimo register can be intimidating (even for experienced clarinetists) without the right fingerings. In my Altissimo Trill Fingerings for Clarinet, I share my favorite altissimo trill fingerings, carefully tested for response, precision, and technical ease.

Range: high C to upper altissimo C# (each note includes half and whole step trills)

These fingerings make fast trills and technical passages smoother, more reliable, and more musical. Each option has been chosen to help you execute rapid ornamentation, advanced repertoire, and orchestral excerpts with confidence.

This resource isn’t intended to be a comprehensive fingering chart for the altissimo register. This is a curated collection of altissimo trill fingerings I use in my own playing. You’ll still be encouraged to experiment and find what works best for your instrument, reed, and setup.

Whether you’re preparing solo repertoire, auditions, or orchestral work, this chart will help you approach altissimo trills and fast passages with clarity, stability, and confidence.

Note: These fingerings are for the Boehm clarinet.
