This is the ultimate Clarinet Method book. It begins with basic studies and progresses to the more advanced methods. I am both a Clarinetist and a Contrabass Clarinetist, and this book has helped me so much in my studies.

This review is from: O304 - Celebrated Method for the Clarinet: Complete Edition (Paperback)

Highly qualified instructors and band directors recommended this book to my middle-school aged daughter. She has improved her clarinet playing since practicing this method. It focuses primarily on scales, which is the basis for all music.

If you had to buy one clarinet book, this would be it. You can start as a beginner and gradually progress towards becoming first chair in a concert band. It has a variety of exercises, and teaches the clarinetist good techniques. It also includes a fingering chart. When I was a 13 year old kid, my teacher started me with this book. By the time I was 17, he said I was good enough to audition for the Boston Pops. (My teacher played clarinet with the Metropolitan Opera). The only negative, it doesn't have many solos for performance. But then again, it's for learning technique. My original book came in two parts; it was pretty torn up. I bought this book a few years ago.
