C1698: I Used to Play Clarinet
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
their instrument(s) by not only reviewing theory and technique 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
just the push former players need to fall back in love with their
instruments again! Once you have I suggest another scale book like
Baermann Book 3 or similar that exercises the full range of the
clarinet. |
