I am a 60 yr old guy who has played the clarinet since I was 10 in
school bands, community bands and church groups, but who has never
really had good formal training or practice habits. Therefore,
although have a great Buffet Bb and A and play 2-3 times a week,
my technique is far behind my desire of really being able to play
this horn. I have had the Russianoff Method for years and finally
decided it's not going to help sitting on my shelf. My scale book
is tattered from age, not use.

My question, or request for opinion, will the Russianoff be a good
Method to build technique for an intermediate player, if I commit
the time to do it justice? Also, much hope of teaching an old dog
to really play this horn after fooling around with it a half
century? Finally, any suggestions of a better way (short of selling
the horns)?

Thanks,

Dick Walters
