    Ears and sanity have been saved by this book! Thank you David Etheridge!

    I bought this book for my wife and this is what I've heard so far (other than a strangled clarinet for which I originally reported my neighbour to the RSPCA for cruelty to her cat - sorry Fran). She has gone from strangling her clarinet to getting some reasonable sounds from it that are mellow and (relatively) in tune to my unrefined ears.

    Too complicated for dummies like me.

    I bought this book because I thought it would make it easy to play the clarinet. It was much more complicated than I thought. I must be dummer than a dummy. I found one which was much better. Look at "Play Clarinet Today" It comes with a cd and you will be able to play some tunes within a week.
