Clarinet method for the first learning stage
Horen Lezen & Spelen 1 is a Dutch-language lesson book for clarinet, designed for both group lessons and individual teaching. In this method, Jaap Kastelein follows current music education standards and the related exams. That makes this book a practical choice for students who want a structured start.
Part 1 covers note values up to eighth notes within a limited range and introduces a number of accidentals. It also gives attention to the main alternate fingerings, so you gradually become familiar with the instrument and the basics of reading music.
Varied clarinet lessons with Audio Online
What makes this clarinet method especially appealing is its varied structure. The book has 56 pages and is packed with ear training exercises, games, puzzles, tips and useful facts. The accompanying Audio Online tracks add extra enjoyment to practice and make it easier to work with the lesson material.
Dr. Checkup guides the student throughout the book with helpful information and tips. This first part also includes a separate page on the history of the instrument, presented with attractive illustrations. If you are looking for a clearly structured clarinet tutor for the first phase of lessons or self-study, this de Haske edition is a logical choice. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from staff members who are musicians themselves.
