Summary of This Method
Restart Clarinet is aimed at clarinetists who want to regain solid sensations after a period of inactivity, whether that break lasted a few months or several years. The progression is designed to restart the fundamentals without skipping steps: posture, sound production, attack stability, and relearning reading and phrasing reflexes.
Throughout the workbook, complementary exercises support each piece, with practical advice and theory reminders to strengthen autonomy. The approach places particular emphasis on difficulties frequently encountered when resuming, such as timbre homogeneity, breath control, register transition management, voicing techniques, and the gradual rebuilding of the embouchure. The goal is to make the progression curve both stimulating and flexible, allowing you to regain confidence quickly and without rigidity.
The repertoire choice fully contributes to motivation: you will alternate between famous themes and popular titles, perfect for working on expressiveness, rhythmic precision, and musicality. Among the pieces offered are Amazing Grace, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Fever, Good Vibrations, I Say A Little Prayer, Jupiter (The Planets), Moon River, Mrs Robinson, Ode To Joy, The Girl From Ipanema, When the Saints Go Marching In, and Yesterday.
This method is part of the Restartseries, designed by specialized practicing teachers for musicians rediscovering the joy of playing. Each title comes with a CD containing accompaniments (classical and popular repertoire) as well as additional online materials, to work within a motivating sound framework and gradually regain playing fluency.
