Hello All!
I have recently taken up the clarinet after a 13 year break and I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good method books. I am looking for something that is in the intermediate range as far as difficulty and something that has scales,arpeggios,tonal exercises etc.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
Peace!
Brian

Brian:
I recently asked almost the same question of David Hite of J&D Hite (a Woodwind.org, aka Sneezy, sponsor) and he recommended Melodious and Progressive Studies, Book 1, published by Southern Music Co. I received the book last week and it looks suitable for my level (intermediate player, starting again after 35 years).
Best of luck.

The old Rubank, "Advanced Method for Clarinet" would be an excellant choice. It contains scale and technical exercises, etudes, and extensive sections on special fingerings and musical ornamentations common to clarineting. These are all organized into well-balanced units of intruction (scale, tecnique, etude, melodic, fingering & ornament practice) to correspond to a weekly lession schedule. This organization of learning activities helps any clarinet student develop necessary technical and muscial skills in a well-planned, logical and balanced sequence of learning activities. Also included is an extensive fingering chart. Highly recommended--Good Clarineting!!!!!!!! (and welcome back)

I agree with William about the Rubank method. I have been using it after a 24 yr layoff, and have found it to be quite good for me. In fact, I began with the Rubank Intermediate method, and got through it fairly quickly. The Advanced method comes in 2 volumes.

Brian...Besides the above recommendations (some are better than others), I would also take a look at the James Collis "Modern Course for the Clarinet" (published by Elkan), starting in Book 4. There are 6 books in total...GBK

The Artie Shaw one is interesting but the Baermann,Thurston,Uhl and
Jettel are really good.

Klose. A small bit of tuition, then it gets stuck right into the studies. Some surprisingly nice tunes in there as well.
