Clarinets/Saxophones Reed Ordering Information

Attendance: No school, no lesson (in case of snow, pre-scheduled school activities, holidays, etc). If something comes up and you need to reschedule a lesson - I'll do my best - but my schedule is very full as well - so it may not always be possible. If you do not show up for your lesson and you did not contact me at least 24 hours in advance to let me know you have a conflict, the lesson is still charged. I'm setting aside time for you - I expect you to do the same If something comes up - just contact me - we'll work it out.

Materials Needed: All high school clarinet students will work out of the following books. You do need to purchase your own copy of at least the first two, as we will pencil in notes & tips during lessons. District and State band audition music comes out of the Rose Etudes and Klose Method, and both of those books will be used throughout college for any clarinet student who continues in music past high school. If a student is not continuing on in music after high school, they can EASILY be resold or passed on to a younger student. I still have (and use regularly) my Rose Etudes & Klose method that I studied from when I was in high school! Please do not ask to have music photocopied.

• Rubank Intermediate or Advanced Method - Vol. I (5.95/6.95)
• C. Rose - 32 Etudes (8.95)
• H. Klose - Method (29.95) You will need this book if you plan to work toward District or State Band.

We will probably choose additional solo or ensemble literature from the school's music library so there should not be any additional sheet music costs.

6th Grade students: We will work out of the method book you have for band.
7-8th Grade Students: Rubank Elementary or Intermediate Clarinet Method (determined when we have our first lesson)

Central Band in Warrensburg and Meyer Music in Blue Springs both keep this literature in stock. You can also order it online through Amazon or SheetMusicPlus.

Lesson Schedule: Winter 2007-08
If you are interested in one of the available open lesson slots please contact me asap to reserve it.

Small Ensembles Coaching (advance request only please)
Due to lack of participation, Open Monday Clarinet Ensembles is no longer a regularly scheduled event. This frees up Monday afternoons to work with any small ensemble who wishes to have some concentrated coaching. You need to have all of your players available, and contact me in advance to reserve some time. Phone or text me at - 816-582-2391. Mondays will also be used for makeup/rescheduling lessons when necessary.
