I'm trying to find a good book of clarinet playalongs, difficulty of grades 4-6. I managed to find these two http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/04717/details.html , http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/010053/details.html. Please do let me know if you are aware of any other good series. Cheers.

SmartMusic is really the best playalong.

I've been a clinician for them, but am too busy so don't anymore.

<sheetmusicplus.com> is a great site. Put in a search for clarinet or jazz or wahtever type of mysic or a particular song you're looking for. When you get the results you can click on the window "narrow search" and put CD and it will give you the books with cds for playalong. I"ve gotten jazz, classical and kelzmer books which are great.

The Dowani 3 Tempi Play Along for classical music is excellent. You get two piano accompaniments to work with at slow tempos and an orchestral accompaniment at performance tempo. You also get a demonstration performance with a pretty good clarinetist.

The performance of the Mozart Kv 622 (FOR Bb clarinet) is one of the best I know of!

The slowest of the piano accompaniments is draggy slow, so it is usually accessible soon after the clarinetist starts to work on the piece.

What is really, really nice about the Dowani tre-tempi recordings is that the pieces are broken up into many short tracks with no delay between them. That means that you can pack up a track to re-try a difficult passage, or to recover to a rehearsal mark if you get lost. This makes your practice much more efficient because you'll never have to wade through the entire movement to get to that closing passage you need to work on.

Music Minus One has a wide selection, but Dowani has that great tri-tempi feature, and it's often cheaper.
