H. Klose Celebrated Clarinet Method

[mikeph]

Does anyone use the H. Klose Celebrated Clarinet Method? I've been working out of it, and its a great deal of work, but it's proving rewarding.

Practicing single lines is good but you also should learn to read the notation of chords on sheet music. Not as simple by a long shot.

This website is really a good one for such things. Ricci Adams' Musictheory.net (Exercises/Chord Identification)

If you practice a bit every day you will make real progress.


Other excellent books for sight reading:

William Leavitt - Modern Method for Guitar Volume I

Tom Dempsey - Sight Reading For The Contemporary Guitarist

Yea thanks for the book suggestions, I also use melodic rhythms for guitar by William Leavitt. I played in a Jazz band and small groups in college, I find the chord changes to be much easier than the written melodic lines.
