Product Description

As a private clarinet teacher, Ive noticed that once students move into general band music, they rarely play in the clarinets lowest register. Unfortunately, that leads to students not knowing note names or fingerings for ledger lines below the staff.

To this end, Breaking Even focuses on the chalumeau and throat tones. The difficulty level is aimed at high school and college students. These move students beyond the basic introduction to low notes found in beginner books and early band literature. Students will become familiar with enharmonics and alternate fingerings.

Any two equal clarinets can play these duets (two B-flats, two basses, etc.). As the auxiliary instruments often dont cooperate as well in higher ranges (dont get me started on school horns!), this allows those players to access more challenging music without it being overly frustrating.

The chalumeau register is beautiful and doesnt get nearly the attention it deserves.
