Testimonials

Beautifully presented with helpful playing suggestions.This is an excellent method.
I.S.M.E.

...can be thoroughly recommended. The author never ceases to entertain the reader. It is well presented and fully justifies its title.
Peter Howes - Clarinet & Saxophone

...remains one of the best tutors for young beginners, full of sound teaching ideas, attractive and challenging tunes and the clever drawings which almost make one enjoy teaching the clarinet as well. Very good value.
Paul Harvey
Winds Magazine

This is a very alive tutor. Ruth Bonetti�s enthusiasm is apparent throughout. She is also enterprising and has some excellent ideas which are entirely her own. I love her method of teaching the minor scales. Also her Mystery Melodies with which she teases the pupil.
Pamela Weston
Music Teacher

The original edition was good: this one is excellent, one of the most worthwhile clarinet tutors I have met. The adult beginner would also gain much from it.
