It has everything a person would need to know when starting with the clarinet. or picking it up again after decades (like me - 46 years since my old band teacher quit and I dropped out of music). Some of it is pretty basic. but thats what its supposed to be. isnt it? It is well laid out and organized. The writer has a nice friendly style thats easy to read and learn from. I dont know as how Id make it my only learning book. but if you got the Rubanks series and combined it with this. I think you could do really well getting up to speed on playing the clarinet. Thats my approach. anyway. and so far its working out just fine.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Decent book with one glaring omissionBy Sams folksThis is a decent book for a beginning clarinet player with a lot of tips for producing a better sound and managing difficult transitions. However. I wouldnt recommend anyone attempt to learn the instrument from this book alone for the simple reason that it doesnt have an illustration of the instrument with all the keys and levers labeled with the names the author uses for them (which in many cases are not the same as the names used in many method books). Coupled with a method book. or better still a method book and a teacher. I think this book deserves a place on the shelf.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
