​ACHIEVING VIRTUOSITY:
COMPLETE SCALES & ARPREGGIOS for
THE INTERMEDIATE CLARINETIST

​I’m so excited to share that one of my pandemic projects has been completed.

When I think about the idea of achieving, it is a matter of being able to attain desired goals. One of my teachers told me that to make the most beautiful music  one must be able to have the technique and the virtuosity to achieve it and that is why I have named this book to illustrate this concept.

This book is designed to encourage mechanism exercises at the earliest stages of learning the instrument with suggested fingerings. I have found success with some of my younger students, which I want to share with all of you.
