Change instrument notes
I have paino, and clarinet books and I now play the banjo. Is there a way to change the notes in the other books so I can play it on the banjo? Help please.

If you're playing banjo, the chords and notes will be the same as they are on piano (that's the way it is with piano and guitar, anyway, don't see why banjo would be any different). Where on the neck of your banjo each note will be, however, will change with how it's tuned. You'd have to tell me what clarinet is tuned to, if you want me to help with that.

Well I didn't play the piano my mom did so I don't know how I would switch them. What would be the high notes and what would be low?

Yes but many notes can be on the same line just a differnet string, but with a piano each note is on a differnet line. Or at lest that is what it looks like to me.

Right, you can play those notes wherever it sounds best on your banjo, putting your middle C (the C note in the middle of the piano) wherever you want to, on whichever string. Technically, it doesn't matter as long as you give yourself room to play the highest/lowest notes in the song/piece/whatever. However, a piano arrangement might not sound right on banjo, so you'd have to mess with it a bit to make it sound right. The basic notes will be the same, though.

You can just read the piano music on banjo. They are both in Concert C so just read it and play. You shouldn't have any problems with octaves or anything, because the banjo has a large range like piano. However, you won't be able to read the clarinet book for banjo unless you transpose the music. Hope this helps!

How do you transpose the music. I have alot of clarinet blooks and if i can change to notes to use with the banjo I would like to so I wouldn't have to buy more books. I don't have much money so if I can reuse something it would really help.
