I haven't been playing much lately, but would really like to get back into the swing of things. I'm not taking lessons or in a group right now, so could anyone suggest a self-learning semi-advanced book? Thanks in advance.

This BBS has another area that can help you with information on intermediate drill books. Start your search there. Don't be surprised if in the future, you see some overlap in drill books from the exact same drills or pieces of music. There are several good reasons for the overlaps, but one good thing is that if you purchase any one of the better known books, chances are pretty good that with enough focused hard work, you will be a better player with much more solid fundamental skills.

The Rubank Advanced books are nice because they give you a lesson plan, mixing solos, articulations, duets, and scale exercises to work on at the same time. The other books just give you the book but don't suggest any order to play it.

My definite recommendation:
Keith Stein "Art of Clarinet Playing".
I think this is a must book for every serious clarinetist.
Can be purchased via Amazon http://www.amazon.com/

I'm a fan of Rubank, as Rick2 suggested; within the Rubank line are Selected Duets, Vol. I (Easy-Medium) and Vol. II (Advanced). Don't be to quick to avoid the Easy-Medium Vol I - it's not as elementary as the name may portray. In any case, both are outstanding for application of skills and drills utilized in their Instruction Books.

Katie: It could be my mother frightened me with a Rubank book as a child, but I never have been able to get excited about them myself. One set of books I like very much is "The Kell Method for Clarinet" by the famous English clarinettist Reginald Kell. It is published by Boosey and Hawkes and hopefully still available. Probably the book 2 would be the most helpful for you. The technical exercises are most tuneful and actually fun to play. There are also some nice scale and arpeggio studies in the back of the book.
