Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Well, as the other poster said, Klose (pronounced Klo-Zay) is THE clarinet bible!.!.!. $30!.00 http://www!.sheetmusicplus!.com/pages!.html!.!.!. However, there are a couple others that are very good too, and used quite often in college lessons: The Henry Lazarus Method Vol 2, revised by Bellison (Carl Fischer Publishing)- $25!.00 https://www!.eble!.com/store/index!.php!?cPa!.!.!. The Carl Baermann Complete Method, Opus 63 (Carl Fischer Publishing)- $16!.00 http://www!.clarinetspot!.com/1060753!.html As far as clarinet jazz method books!.!.!. I have yet to find one that I REALLY like! LOL But here are a couple that aren't TOO awful!.!.!. :) The Complete Jazz Clarinet Book by William Bay- $15!.00 http://www!.sheetmusicplus!.com/pages!.html!.!.!. This one's pretty good because it teaches a lot of the theory behind the music!.!.!. jazz has a lot of theory which you don't NEED to know, but is infinitely useful if you DO know it!. John O'Neil Developing Jazz Technique for Clarinet- $35 http://search!.barnesandnoble!.com/booksea!.!.!. also, since jazz is really based in listening and responding to band mates, rhythms, and chord structure, the best way to learn is by doing!.!.!. the Jamey Aebersold Play-Along books are awesome for this, and there's literally HUNDREDS to choose from!. $16!.00+/- http://www!.clarinetspot!.com/cat29_pg_2!.h!.!.!. (Scroll down about half way til you see the section titled "Jazz"!.!.!. and there's like 8 pages of nothing but Aebersold books!.) also, later down the road, if you plan on playing jazz clarinet with a group, I suggest picking up one of the Real Books in Bb (B flat)!. There's a bunch of them, but The New Real Book or The Standards Real Books, and The Real Book Vol!. 2 are usually safe bets!. $23- $33 each!. http://www!.sheetmusicplus!.com/pages!.html!.!.!. (To view all the Real Books, type "real book bb edition" in the search bar on the site!.) Hope this helped, and have fun! :) Www@QuestionHome@Com The Klose method for clarinet- it's been the standard for over a century!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
