What's new?

It's back!  I selected patterns from the tried and true - Baermann and others - that actually help students gain the skills needed to perform classical style literature.  Go to the shop page to view the contents.

New edition.  Same information and sequence with new chromatic exercises for learning enharmonic note names and developing good hand position.

So You Want to Play the Clarinet is a carefully sequenced book for beginner clarinetists that emphasizes good tone quality and phrasing. The range is moderate, from the lowest E to third line B-flat. Rhythms and basic techniques needed for first semester performance are included. For the best result, follow the lessons in order. With regular practice, you can teach yourself to play.
