First off, this book is for BASS CLARINET.The "Essential Elements 2000: A Comprehensive Band Method" is a great book for a young person who is learning an instrument for the first time. There is a fingering chart in the back of the book to make looking up fingerings quick and easy. The book starts off very basic with the parts of the instrument. The easiest notes to play and finger are presented first with exercises to practice them. This book comes with a play-along CD. This CD includes all solo exercises.Hal Leonard also offers (though not through ) band sets for band directors. They are simple arrangements of music that correlate with the book. They are great for the first concert.There is an older version of this book called "Essential Elements: A Comprehensive Band Method". The book is purple and has many of the same features as this one, but the CDs have to purchased separately.
Great! Very good combination of book and CDs, not expensive at all, impossible to find in Europe, very fast delivery from America to France. Thank you so much!
I plan to re-reteach myself the bass clarinet and this book is just the ticket. It is much more detailed and so easy to follow. The CD is such a learning tool and it will be used to encourage my new venture in wanting to join our local community band.
its a music book, my son needed it for class and it is what it is...a required music book
