Summary: hello
Review: I have referred friends to this book, and I believe that all serious clarinetists and music educators should own and read this book. I keep it in my gig bag...a true owner's manual for the instrument.

Summary: Informative, yet Aggrivating
Review: I read this book looking for a little insight. Being a clarinet player myself I am always looking for things to help me with my playing. This book was informative and taught me a lot of things. On the other hand it gave a lot of advice about playing that my private teacher strongly disagrees with, and I too for that matter. Mr. Pino seems to teach the French style of clarinet, low forward tongue etc., which isn't a problem if you are partial to that. I get taught the Marcellus way, which is the German way. I agree with that logic a whole lot more than Mr. Pino's. The book was well written and informative, but I disagreed with quite a few things he talks about.

Summary: The most important book a clarinetist could buy
Review: I was an All-State clarinetist in high school and the majority of my college tuition was paid for by the music department for my clarinet skills. I thought I knew a lot about the instrument before reading this book. I was WRONG. Very WRONG.This book would have saved me so much aggravation and practice time as a teenager! Things that I struggled with (such as performance anxiety before auditioning) became trivial. The history of the instrument is laid out in an interesting manner and it is chock full of tips on how to care for your horn and become a better player. I only wish I had bought a copy sooner!

Summary: an excellent book
Review: I'm a clarinetist myself, and I found this book to be very informative. True that he mentions aspects of playing that I disagree with, or he mentions things my teacher already advocates, but he has a ton of ideas that I would not have thought about otherwise.

Summary: Excellent book
Review: This book goes through all of the little details of clarinet playing that many instructors never mention. It really tries to teach you to become a complete clarinet player. You learn not only about the technical aspects of playing the clarinet, but also about the equipment (including reed making), the music written for the clarinet, the history of the clarinet, and just general musicianship. All of this in a well written book. Great for all people who want to learn more about the clarinet.
