Dear Parent Robyn_765,

My name is Henry Padilla, I am a parent too and I congratulated you for what you are trying to accomplish. It is great to have a parent that wants to teach music to their kids. I must tell you I am not a teacher, (since your question is directed at teachers) but I felt compel to collaborate.

I totally agree with GBK. When I started playing and this happened 3 or 4 month ago, I look over all the available books to learn playing the clarinet. Of all these books, I picked two. The first one was the Play Clarinet Today and the second one was the Essential Elements 2000. They both follow or I should say their design is pretty much the same and they both have the DVD and CD, although the Play Clarinet Today comes also without the DVD. They both helped me a great deal. I ended up using the EE2000.

Then I learned here about the Smartmusic program. I also must agree with David Blumberg regarding this great program. I liked very much, it is a great tool as well. Even better when I found out that the EE2000 book is part of it. This helped a lot because I did not have to change to another method book; rather it became an asset to what I already had and already using.

The design that the EE2000 have is just like GBK describe and as a student I must concur with him 100% the visual and dynamic of the book helps considerably, in my opinion the EE2000 is the best there is.

Well, I hope that my comments as a student and my reaffirming of the comments from other members in this fantastic board help you in your new endeavor.

Best of luck,

Henry Padilla
