SO YOU WANT TO PLAY THE... CLARINET Book 1

So, You Want to Play the... Clarinet is bright, compelling and unlike many other beginner tutor books as it teaches all grade one requirements. This includes the often forgotten skills of sight-reading, aural skills, improvisation and learning music by ear. It also includes duets, piano accompaniments, Christmas music and pop songs; it comes with a Teacher Insert and is available as an e-book. With its own YouTube channel, this book uses QR codes to link the user to online backing tracks, listening and instructional videos. All backing tracks can be slowed down making it perfect for beginner clarinettists to learn and play at their own speed.

“The amount of content in the book alone is more than worth the price tag of a tenner, and with all the free online content too, you get much more than your money's worth. Really fabulous book and I'm looking forward to using it with future students!”
- Jesse Harte, Professional Woodwind Player & Dawkes Specialist

“Layla’s book is highly innovative, engaging and easy to follow! The way clarinet basic steps have been written are the most informative and clear I have found from clarinet teaching books, by far! I cannot recommend this book enough for all woodwind teachers. I also cannot believe it has taken this long for QR codes and YouTube videos to be linked to a teaching book, rather than CDs.”
- Hannah Shilvock, Professional Bass Clarinettist, BG France & RATstands Artist
