Clarinet sheet music  - How to play the clarinet with a better  tone.

Clarinet Tone-Ups

Do you want great a clarinet sound? Then you need to play long notes.

But long note exercises are boring - so you don't play them do you?

Slow melodies are fun to play - and a great way to perfect your clarinet tone.

Ten beautiful slow tunes - ideal for clarinet tone development.

Peter Moore says: "In my many years of teaching, I have found that many clarinet players won't  practice long note exercises because they can be so dreadfully boring.  I could not find enough interesting slow music for clarinet students to play - so we published "Clarinet Tone-Ups Book 1".
This book has ten carefully selected titles, complete with performance notes for each piece, for you to enjoy playing.  You will also develop your clarinet embouchure at the same time.  Book 2 has even more challenging pieces".

This is what customers say:

Shirley Hartlett, retired Headmistress of Shenington School, Nr Banbury, England says:

"I get frustrated when I buy a book of clarinet music and find that I can only manage to play one or two pieces.  With Clarinet Tone-Ups I can play them all!" 

Stan Barrett, retired drama teacher and semi-pro clarinettist from Market Bosworth, England says:

"The 'Clarinet Tone-Ups' are a joy to use.  Not only do they take the tedium out of long-note practice, but they are also sprinkled with technical and interpretive challenges.  The writers know where we're likely to need help.  They isolate each problem and tell us, in straightforward language, what to do about it.  Excellent."

7 June 2004: Brad Bunnin, Berkeley, California

"I bought a copy of Clarinet Tone-Ups at Howarth's last month, while visiting my family in Britain. What a lovely way to improve tone and control! My teacher is also impressed."
