The Voxman Collection is good. Young players need a variety of approachable solos to work on, ranging from easy beginner to somewhat challenging intermediate in a variety of musical styles. The Norman Heim collections offer this--Norman Heim Solo Pieces for Beginning Clarinet and Norman Heim Solo Pieces for Intermediate Clarinet (published by Mel Bay). There is an out of print Music Minus One (MMO) CD that comes with the printed sheet music, recorded by stellar clarinetist Harold Wright that is worth searching for. If the student protests that some of the selections are "so easy to play," you can point out that "well not so easy to make them sound as good as Wright does." An opportunity to hear the difference between playing the notes and playing the music!
