There is the old standby from my youth,
"Music minus One" where a pro and accompanist play
once, then again without the pro. You can play with
or without the pro. Now in CD and Cassette, very old versions
in LP (remember those). Full music score provided.
This is a nice approach, though somewhat controversial
among the on-line pros here.

: Hello everyone
: My name is Yusuf Zaid I'm 56 and started to learn to play
: the clarinet 2 months ago. I bought a really cheap instrument
: from a pawn shop, a tutor book, and within days was able to
: get a few 'tunes' out of it. The clarinet had no name on it
: and the mouth piece was really chewed up so I bought a
: standard Buffet mouthpiece from a local retailer.( I'm from
: England by the way). I'm having to teach myself as no way can
: I afford lessons. I had a great deal of trouble getting over
: the break until I discovered the Clarinet Bulletin Board and,
: after hours of searching found I was holding the instrument
: all wrong and that the clarinet was probably on its last legs
: anyway. So yesterday I had got together enough to buy myself
: a new Buffet B12. Wow, what a difference. Feels like sitting
: in a Rolls Royce after riding a push bike. The wife didn't
: like me spending the money but even she admitted that it was
: probably worth it if I was serious about playing. I have now
: submitted to this digest and have found it most stimulating
: and informative.
: Right now I have a question to start with. As I cannot afford
: lessons do any of the English subscribers know of any good
: instructional videos that I could get here in England that
: would at least give me an idea how I should be holding the
: instrument properly and give me an idea of good technique?
: Thank you for your time reading this, I hope I wasn't too
: long winded (pun?)
: Yusuf
