Title: The clearest guide to clarinet playing yet!
Product review: I have had the privilege to know and work with Tom Ridenour. For those less fortunate, his Educator's guide to the Clarinet is a wonderful insight into Tom's enormous experience of every aspect of clarinet playing.This book covers each aspect of playing and forms them into a structured approach which makes so much sense, that I am amazed that it has not been so clearly defined before!Whether you are an established teacher or a keen amateur player, you will be surprised at the enormous depth of information, which is both easy to understand and a pleasure to read.The book is divided into two main areas, playing (pedagogy) and a comprehensive section covering the equipment.This includes some of the most useful information ever presented on mouthpieces, reeds and even maintenance of the clarinet.If you have never bought a book on clarinet-playing before, or have every other book on the subject, this should be at the top of your list!
