C2360: Baermann Method for Clarinet Op. 63
Volume 1
by Carl Baermann edited by Robert Erdt. Schott, 2015, SS, 73
pages. The musical text is based on the first edition of the method.
Only a few differences concerning the articulation as well as some
misprints and typographical errors were revised. By deleting the
historical fingering instructions for the German fingering system (the
volume includes modern fingering charts for the German system and the
Boehm system), the clarinet method not only has a clean and, compared
to the original, more clearly structured layout, but can also be used
universally (the text is in German, English and French). The content of
the text and the performance directions of
the original were linguistically modernized and occasionally extended
by further ideas from the teaching practice, such as concepts for
warming up, breathing exercises, literature suggestions or tips for
daily practicing. Further additions of scale and triad studies in all
major and minor keys make this method a comprehensive and thorough work
of study which not only serves as teaching material for young and adult
beginners, but is also a valuable compendium of scale exercises and
studies for advanced musicians and is ideal for training velocity and
dexterity. This volume includes Baermann studies 1-33 as well as
additional material. Click on the cover

C2468:
Carl Baermann's Celebrated Method for
Clarinet Part 3 by
Carl Baermann revised and edited by Jack Snavely. Kendor Music, 1989,
SB, 115
pages. This is Jack Snavely's version of Part three of the Baermann
Method, Daily Studies, consisting
primarily of scale and chord studies. This book is more like David
Hite's Foundation Studies (C131) than either of the
editions above.
Featuring scale, arpeggio, interval and pattern studies in all major
and minor keys, this modern edition of the classic Baermann method
reorganizes exercises according to key for a more logical study
sequence. In addition, certain patterns and contemporary chordal
studies have been added to make the material more complete, along with
exercises in the keys of C-sharp and C-flat that were not originally
included in Baermann's 19th-century opus. All music is digitally
engraved for ease of reading, and the plastic binding ensures that the
book stays open on a music stand. It also includes some suggested
fingerings but they are only presented in the music once so the text is
not cluttered. |

C633: The Bass Clarinet (Method) by Jean-Marc Volta. International Music Diffusion, 1996, PB, 119 pages. I am quite impressed by the French/English language method for the bass clarinet by Jean-Marc Volta, the principal bass clarinet of the French National Orchestra. This is an excellent source of detailed bass clarinet techniques and wonderful resource for fingerings. It would be suitable for high school age and up coming from the clarinet to the bass clarinet and for current bass clarinetists who are searching for more information on how to become proficient on their instrument.

C831: The Boosey Woodwind Method Clarinet, Book 1.
Boosey & Hawkes, 2002, SS, 64 pages + CD. This book is typical
of many recently published method books in that it is well illustrated
and comes with a CD. While it is fairly slow moving in terms of range
(book 1 goes to a G above the staff) it introduces a variety of time
signatures (6/8. 5/4, etc.) and rhythmic patterns. The CD is a
recording of most of the pieces in the book Includes quite a few duets
and some trios. C832: The Boosey Woodwind Method Clarinet, Book 2. Boosey & Hawkes, 2002, SS, 56 pages + CD. Book 2 continues the range to C above the staff and adds sixteenth notes and more complex rhythms, meters and musical notations.

 C2711: The Break by
Paula Corley. Southern Music, 2019, SS, 28 pages. The subject of this
book “Crossing the
break,” can be a source of frustration for developing clarinetists. The
Break is a logical guide for mastering this important step in
clarinet performance. The method is divided into two parts: Part I
contents: the clarinet overtone series – how new note names attach to
previously learned fingerings; how to incorporate 'right hand down' as
a developmental technique; one octave scales across the break; first
melodies in the clarion register that teach basic musical concepts
needed for advanced performance. Part II contents: studies from Rhythmical
Articulation by Pasquale Bona, selected and edited for clarinet to
prepare students for upper level performance. Rhythmical Articulation
was originally written to assist singers with rhythmical and pitch
accuracy. |

be useful to more advanced players. Of note are complete scales,
arpeggios and technical exercises in all keys (42 pages) and nearly 40
pages of orchestral excerpts which includes some pieces by Copland that
aren't usually seen in excerpt books. |

by Larry Clark. Carl Fischer, 2011, SS, 48 pages + CD. I Used to Play
is a new series for adults looking to get back into playing their
instruments of yesteryear, and will help jump start their memory and
comfort with music. Its #1 goal is to get people re-acquainted with

etudes, but also providing them with types of music they want to play,
like pop, jazz, and classical tunes. Each book contains a CD with audio
MP3 files of complete performances of most songs, plus
accompaniment-only play along versions. The CD also contains printable
PDFs of piano parts for practice or performance opportunities. (The CD
will only work in computers and CD players that play MP3s). It's

instruments again! Once you have I suggest another scale book like

clarinet. |

DVD010: Learn to Play Klezmer Music - Improvising in the Tradition (DVD) taught by Andy Statman. Homespun Tapes, 2006 (DVD edition), NTSC, 80 minutes, includes small booklet of music. Andy Statman discusses the background, techniques and stylistic nuances needed to perform klezmer correctly – regardless of the instrument you play. Andy teaches typical klezmer tunes, playing each one slowly and unornamented, then demonstrating how trills, slurs, grace notes, vibrato and other variations “bring out the heart that's inside the melody.” You'll learn connecting runs, classic endings, “dangerous” ornaments to avoid, and the rhythmic underpinning of this vital music. Andy then performs each tune on clarinet, accompanied by Zev Zions on accordion. Songs: Purim niggun, Moshe Emes (Breslev niggun), Meron niggun, and The Old Sher. |
