Book Description
"Modern musicians often fear playing off the written page, that is, performing any type of improvisation. Performers during the Classical era belonged to a culture of improvisation. They had better-developed aural skills and experienced improvising from a much younger age than most modern musicians. Moreover, many soloists today fear making mistakes due to a lack of improvisational instruction in applied lessons and a lack of understanding of the diversity of styles of the time. The myriad of rules accumulated over time is also misleading, if not outright conflicting, with each rule having exceptions. The purpose of this method is to provide a progressive means of incorporating aural skills into instruction, provide cultural and historical context to performance practices and improvisational techniques of the Classical period, aid in the realization of ornamentation, and build improvisational skills...."

Elements of Contemporary Clarinet Technique
Author: Andrew Hudson

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
Inspired by the periodic table of elements, "Elements of Contemporary Clarinet Technique" takes the advancing clarinetist through a series of progressive etudes that address techniques both fundamental and extended. Chock full of new etudes for a new age, "Elements of Contemporary Clarinet Technique" explores foundational techniques like effective slurring, light articulation, and stable breath support while also delving into modern processes like circular breathing, double and slap tonguing, multiphonics, and more. Each etude, crafted by award-winning composer Roger Zare, draws its inspiration from a different element of the periodic table: "Gold" shimmers with lustrous connections, while "Oxygen" offers a chance for extreme breath control under musical duress and "Neon" sparkles in the upper register. Each etude is introduced and explored with a written masterclass and performance guide from acclaimed clarinetist Andy Hudson, who breaks down the technical and musical challenges of each etude, making this an invaluable resource for the progressing clarinetist. A true collaboration between composer and pedagogue, "Elements of Contemporary Clarinet Technique" sees longtime collaborators Roger Zare and Andy Hudson set the standard for the modern etude book in terms of progressive growth, nuanced musical development, and performance application.
