Re: Reading bass clef, playing bass clarinet

I suggest you get an intermediate bassoon or cello book and start with that to learn how to read bass clef. I'm not familiar with that edition but if it's the actual cello suites then you just read it as written, don't worry about transposition. No one really cares if it a step off, you're playing it on a bass clarinet. If there's a cello player in the audience with perfect pitch they probably won't be there anyway. If you don't want to start with an intermediate book begin with one of the slow movements and just plug away slowly. ESP http://eddiesclarinet.com
