I'm a sax teacher who has recently taken on a couple of clarinet students. I need some of the standard, advanced method books please. Nothing like Rubank or anything, more advanced than that. Comparable to the Mule and Ferling books for saxophone.
Thanks for any help!
Oh, also a website where I can order said books would be great.

Not exactly "method" books, but how about the Rose Etudes (two different volumes), or the "Melodious and Progressive" Series of David Hite?
Try Sheet Music Plus for ordering, or perhaps Gary Van Cott -- both advertise on this site.

I see that clarinet87 has posted the list of standard, time-tested method books which I recommended one should have in their personal music library.
BTW - The Arban Complete Conservatory Method for Trumpet is not a misprint.
As I've written many times before, one nice feature of the Arban book is that all the exercises, melodies, duets, themes and variations, etc... all lie (for the most part) between C4 and C6, thus the student gets to build technical skills in the most used clarinet register. This book is excellent because it makes the student USE their scales and arpeggios, rather than just recite them back.
For practice in sight reading and phrasing, the Arban book has 150 short melodies taken primarily from operas.
After 30+ years of teaching out of Klosé, Rose, Baermann, Kell, etc... it is rejuvenating to find another supplemental method which builds skills and covers ground in a slightly different way...GBK

Dewey,
Check out the later books in the 5 volumes of "Modern Course for the Alto Saxophone," by Art Hegvik.
Great books for developing both technique, and especially style.
I use these books when i teach sax students. I also learnt clarinet from "Modern Course for the Clarinet" by James Collis, who could possibly be the same person as Art Hegvik. Just a suspicion. I can verify the existance of Art Hegvik, who i believe was both a musician and a phsycologist, however, i have no idea who james collis is.

James Collis was an important figure in the clarinet world, and had a long career in performance, teaching and publishing.
He attended the Curtis Institute, studied with Bonade for 5 years and played under many famous conductors, including Reiner, Stokowski and Rodzinski.
Aside from his numerous method books, he published the Symphony magazine, the early (1950's) version of The Clarinet magazine and also Woodwind World magazine.
One of Collis' most noted students was David Shifrin...GBK

GBK,
Wow! Are Collis and Hegvik the same person, because their books have almost identical material?
Thanks for the interesting info, and best regards.

It's easy to have an equivalent to the Ferling book. Rose 32 Etudes is an adaption of the Ferling 48.
If you want a real kicker, Rubank Selected Studies has strong pieces in every major and minor key. This and the Hite book will both contain some Ferling.
The Classical Studies by Voxman is terrific, and actually contains a lot of baroque. This book should be published for every instrument.

On the easier side , Langey Tudor, Baermann Vol. 2, Complete Methods-Langenus and Lazerus, Rhythm Etudes- Dubois, Bitsch, and Rueff. Rhythm Articulations by Bona is also good. Modern etudes-The 20th Century Clarinetist by Alan Segal, Vingt-Deux Etudes Modernes by Perier, and 48 etudes by Uhl.

It seems to me that some of you folks are not giving enough credit to the Gustave Langenus method books. Book 3 has some pretty wonderful duets that I've used (with the occasional fudging for range) with both sax and clarinet students.

Easier?
Perhaps, Book 1 (#1-#24).
But, Book 2 (#25-#48) - the last 8 (if I remember correctly) are a major workout...GBK
