Hello everyone!!

first time poster but I've been lurking for a while!

Was just hoping to get some advice... I played clarinet in middle and High school (was pretty good, generally held 2nd or 3rd chair at all times... had no motivation to move higher because my best friend sat next to me and I didn't want to leave her! LOL)

I have picked it up every now and then and played a few notes just messing around - and when my daughter joined band (Trumpet) I started playing her music with her but found that I couldn't remember some of the fingerings for the higher notes.

My question is this: can you suggest some books that will help me to relearn the fingerings? And test my knowledge?

She's joined a local jazz band after school (community band) and the leader said that she'd love to have a clarinetist join as well (the band is mostly brass at the moment with a couple of saxes thrown in...) and she's been asking often... trying to convince me to join. I'd love to join! But right now, I'm not confident enough in my fingerings and I don't want to embarrass myself, especially in front of my daughter!! LOL (she's a VERY good trumpet player and has heard me brag often about how good I used to play my clarinet!!)

any advice? I'd appreciate it!!
