Customer Reviews:

Very educational for new student

By MLW - October 11, 2012

This book was actually recommended by my son's music teacher because this is the first year of band for the students in our district. It is very informative and easy to follow. We will actually be able to skip ahead a little from the class even without the teacher giving the assignments.

Great instruction book

This is the other book the professor made me buy for clarinet class. I like it, and again I couldn't find it cheaper anywhere.

I love it

By John Golden - February 16, 2013

I love it because I can just use the book to look up notes or play a song I have never heard of and it is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn the clarinet or is new in band.
