Over the last year I have been creating a range of free clarinet music, play-along videos, and resources for beginner clarinetists that I am super excited to share on my website with you!
Regardless of whether you start lessons in the school band program, through a private studio or as an adult learner; these resources have been created to help you speed up the process of learning the clarinet.
Dedicated clarinet page
On my new clarinet page https://passionateaboutmusiceducation.com/resources-for-clarinetists/ you will find a video tutorial of how to assemble the clarinet and a second video with the reed placement. Specifically for the total beginner to the instrument to have an amazing start!
Learn the basics booklet
After that don’t forget to download the free “Learn the Basics” clarinet PDF for the total beginner clarinetist!
Original music, sight-reading, warm-ups and scales exercises
When learning a new musical instrument, there are a number of musical skills to master. Many young clarinetists struggle with sight-reading, especially reading rhythm patterns. Therefore the exercises I have been creating teaches you how to play a simple melodic idea where the rhythm is the same for each measure. This helps clarinetists play simple melodies with more rhythmic accuracy. Rhythmic accuracy is essential for great playing as a soloist or as band member even at the earliest stages of music making.
YouTube Clarinet Play-Alongs
I have been creating a set of play-along videos to go with each the music exercises for you to try out. A good number of play-alongs are already up on our Youtube channel for you to try out. The channel is called ‘Music Theory Made Simple’ and you can pop on over to the channel using the link here: https://www.youtube.com/@musictheorymadesimple
The first ten video links are on the clarinet website page and I have added the accompanying work booklets for you to download for free.
Hope you find the videos and music booklets helpful!
