Clarinet Secrets Reviews

Gingras provides thoughtful insight into the idiosyncrasies of clarinet performance for advanced clarinetists. This is an invaluable contribution to literature on clarinet pedagogy. She tactfully addresses problematic issues clarinetists encounter and gives personal experience about clarinet performance. Gingras discusses the multitude of technological resources available and how the modern student can use them to address weaknesses in clarinet performance. This book is a complete compendium of how teachers and students should approach learning the clarinet in the 21st century. Many books focus on one or two aspects of clarinet playing. It is rare to find a clarinet guide that goes into such detail about all facets of clarinet performance. The explanations Gingras provides are straightforward and interesting. She combines logical solutions in a personal and engaging way for the reader. This book is highly recommended. * The Clarinet *
Michele Gingrass newest book contains many insightful and useful pieces of information on a wide range of topics about the clarinet. It reads like a Clarinetists Almanacvery handy and entertaining -- Ricardo Morales, principal clarinet, Philadelphia Orchestra
Just when you thought Michele Gingras had covered every possible topic in her previous Clarinet Secrets books, she comes up with additional niche subjects that we all just have to know about! With a slightly contemporary slant for those things (range, playing techniques, control) that make our literature so challenging, she and her guest contributors bring a myriad of helpful insights to bear. This new and improved version breaks new ground in useful and important ways. -- Howard Klug, Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University, Bloomington
The second edition of Clarinet Secrets is a treasure chest of useful and interesting information for clarinetists of any ability level. It is greatly expanded from the original version, containing a wide range of new materialfrom the super altississimo register to slap tonguing and from multiphonics to transposition. Chances are you will find a little secret here that can make a big difference in your playing! -- Robert Walzel, past president, International Clarinet Association; dean, University of Kansas School of Music
