Two comments on this:

1. We have a CD that features Tom Piercy: Gotham Ensemble Plays Ned Rorem
(our CD26: $16.95).

2. Books for Clarinet Teachers: We would particularly suggested the
Educators Guide to the Clarinet by Tom Ridenour and (especially at the
college level) The Clarinet Doctor by Howard Klug. Of course we have the
books by Stein, Pino, and Brymer, too. Larry Guy's specialized books on
Embouchure and Intonation are recommended also.
