46 years of clarinet playing and teaching experience and has personal
experience of overcoming many of the problems in his books. Simple,
clearly written solutions quickly get you playing your clarinet better
than ever.

The Music Teacher , December 1998
says: "It is an eminently sensible little book, full
of nuggets of advice from which every player can benefit."
Not
only a sensible little book - it easily fits your pocket, purse or clarinet
case.
Please note, you WILL need
the Clarinettist's Technique Doctor
as well, if you do not already have it. This book is effectively part
2 in the series.
