Friday Favorites: Clarinet Method Books
Happy Friday!
You can’t beat method books. These all-in-one resources usually contain most everything you need, from technical exercises, lyrical studies, and other fundamental resources. There are a plethora of clarinet methods out there, and here are a few of my favorite. (Note that some of these might currently be out of print.)
- Hyacinthe Klosé Celebrated Method for the Clarinet
- Leon Russianoff Clarinet Method
- Rubank Method for Clarinet (I use this with many of my students!)
- Henry Lazarus Method for Clarinet
- Carl Baermann Complete Method for Clarinet
- Gustave Langenus Complete Method for the Clarinet
- Alamiro Giampieri Progressive Method for Clarinet
- Benny Goodman Clarinet Method
- David Hite Melodious and Progressive Studies for Clarinet
- Frederick Thurston The Clarinet: A Comprehensive Method
