Synopsis

Clarinet Basics is a landmark method by one of the leading figures in clarinet education. It starts at absolute beginner level and progresses to about elementary level.

There are 22 stages, each section includes a wonderful variety of concert pieces from the great composers, traditional tunes and fun, original exercises, 'finger gyms' and 'warm ups' to help establish a sound technique, 'fact files' and 'quizzes' to teach notation and general musicianship, helpful, clear 'fingering charts' and 'rhythm boxes' and great illustrations.

An accompaniment CD is available separately (0-571-52167-3) which contains all the accompaniments to all the pieces as well as providing additional parts for the duets and trios. Alternatively, there is also a Book/CD edition (0-571-522823).

About this title

Review

I have used this book for many years and always found it excellent. It combines warm ups, technical exercises and musical literacy in an accessible way, and I have yet to find it bettered by any other tutor book. Andrew Mason, Music Teacher Magazine, February 2014 This is definitely the book I will be using in future for beginners ... the method provides the most solid foundation imaginable for further progress.
