A diverse collection of etudes for the advancing student thatcontains a variety of material from some of the most popularetudes for the instrument. The texts from which these studieshave been selected have been the core of clarinet pedagogy formany, many years. While there are numerous, high quality newclarinet studies available, the revered studies in this collection willprovide a large variety of challenges and repertoire to help developtone, technical facility, range, flexibility, articulation, and above all,musical concepts. The etudes have been carefully selected andedited by a prominent teacher on the instrument and arranged in agood pedagogical sequence, and there is a helpful section on howto practice and prepare these etudes.This is a welcome addition to the repertoire for students studyingprivately and wanting to improve their skills. A must-have for anyserious student and private instructor.
