Clarinet

(dis)Qualifications

Clarinet is my primary instrument, I have been playing for about 8 years now, and over that time I have learned a lot. When I got to college i realized that a lot of my technique was messed up because I wasn't taught. This page is filled with mostly technical things because of this.

My Favorite Method Books

Rubank Methods: These books range from beignner to advanced, and are perfect for starting out on the instrument. They are also really fun to go through and give you goals/set lesson plans so you can use it to self-teach
Carl Baermann's Celebrated Method for Clarinet: As much as I hated learning from this book, It is so so helpful. It has so many scale exercises for each key and improves your technique really effectivly.
