My teacher has me learning with the Rubank Elementary Method Book (for clarinet of course).

Me previous teacher had me using the Standard of Excellence, and prior to that, the teacher started me on the Modern Klose-Lazarus book.

Rubank Elementary Method is probably a good compromise, but awfully boring.
Klose-Lazaus I like best because it has a bit more ballance (for interest) than Rubank, but seems to be more complex and should definately be accomanied by a teacher (unless, maybe if a person already knows music very well).

Standard of Excellence or Essential Elements (which I like better because it has a CD) might work best for the for self-teaching. But I stick to what the teachers has placed before me.

Be glad when I learn to play Yankee Doodle ........ that he often refers to when explaining "counting"..........YANKee DOOdle WEnt to town a RIDing..........one, two, three, four........clap, clap, clap, clap.

Ain't this the most fun you ever had..................feels kinda silly. Step aside Rubank, look out Pete, here I come.
