This was a very informative book! It helped me decide to wait on learning the clarinet, but it's still a beautiful instrument, and I'm glad I know more about it, thanks to this book.

I was disappointed. Flute for Dummies was a great book with a wealth of practical, specific information both graphic and written...not so Clarinet for Dummies which was often vague and poorly written.
