 Re: The Arban Book - for clarinet!

These are both good ammunition in your arsenal.

I have the Spud Murphy books and found them to be helpful at reading chordal and modal passages - they have plenty of "gotcha's" thrown in. If like me you play the same tunes at weddings year in and year out, or have been playing the same broadway show for the last year, these books will be helpful keeping your mind out of the big rut.

The Clarke studies have also been helpful to me, perhaps but not necessarily more so because they were not designed for clarinet. Designed to develop ajility and technical consistency on an instrument with just three valves, they can be approached so as to present the same problems on a much more complicated mechanism.

There is also Jean-jean's "Clarinetist's Vade Mecum" - a great little book for someone (like myself) who has really little time to practice. This and a good scale book can really keep things cranking.
