I have been serving as my son's private teacher until I can get him with a real teacher hopefully next year. (I'm a community orchestra clarinetist who took 10 years of private lessons and a few college music classes but majored in something else). We've been working in the 2nd half of my old Rubank Elementary Method and also he is working up Harry Potter Hedwig's Theme for a church talent show. I'd like to use Smart Music with him again as I find he responds well to the computer feedback. The skills he is trying to improve are crossing the register break without a hesitation and not rushing the tempo. I'm not that familiar with the numerous band method books included in Smart Music, and the clarinet books I do know aren't in the program. Can anyone recommend books in Smart Music before I wade through them one by one?

Standard of Excellence and Essential Elements are both on SmartMusic and are good. They are Band methods though, and when I use them to help a student in Band, I supplement it with the Galper Clarinet Method books 1 and 2.

Smartmusic has such a huge library of options for beginning kids I think it's a no-brainer. For $36 (soon to be $40) you'll have access to most of the beginning band methods that exist, and you can pick and choose what you like.
Rubank Intermediate and Advanced are in there as well.
