Hello again clarinetists. I appreciate the suggestions for beginning materials for my dd, but I think that at this stage, the Klosé book seems a bit daunting. Does anyone have any other suggestions for beginning books that will certainly include a full chromatic scale fingering chart? DD has learned 3 or 4 scales in the past couple of days, but she knows she needs to learn all the notes. Plus, it would be nice to have some general tips re. intonation et al. plus the usual reminders re. cleaning and caring for the instrument.
We have the instrument, a cleaning swab thingy, a case, reeds, reed case, music stand (from before), and cork grease, and I am planning on ordering a proper stand with the book (which you are going to suggest :-), and then we'll see from there.
By the way, what exactly *is* cork grease? and is there a cheap substitute, and, can you use it too much?
Thanks for letting me play 20 questions here. Your help is wonderful!
