Hi, all. Last week I had a fairly lengthy discussion with a student of mine that I have been teaching piano and bass clarinet (disclaimer: I am not a bass clarinet specialist and the family knows that). She is in her early high school years, age 15. Anyway, she didn't practice a whole lot this year. When I talked to her she said that she is fine with the technic stuff, but that solo-wise she would like to play some rock-n-roll (!) and not so much classical. Two of my goals for her right now are a fatter tone and stronger and more varied articulation, so rock may not be so far off the mark. However, she has also enjoyed playing pieces from the Mozart Divertimenti with a couple of my soprano clarinet players. So, I have two questions:

1) Am I crazy to teach her Freddie Mercury?

2) What ideas do folks have for duet repertoire either for soprano and bass clarinet or for two bass clarinets?
