Hello everybody,
I'm new here. I played the clarinet for 5 years but for lack of time (or lack of effort to make time) I stopped playing. I'd like to pick it up again and since I haven't played for years, I know I have to start all over.
Could you guys recommend me a complete clarinet method from beginner to advanced?
Thanks for any advice you may give.

First of all, if your using a clarinet thats 5+ years old, I suggest bringing it to a local instrument repair shop.

I brought my clarinet for maintenance and repair last year so I bet it's going to be ok.
Benny Goodman's? I'll look for that.
What would be an appropriate reed hardness for someone who hasn't played for years?

I recommend the Pares Scales book for any instrument.
You get to learn your scales well, and nice etudes in many keys.
It will be like riding a bike.

I bought one of these abs clarinets recently. It's been ok so far. But i would like to upgrade to a wooden one eventually if I win the lottery. I started on size 1+1/2 reeds but I find the harder size 3 reeds sound much smoother. It's just going to take a while to strengthen my embrochure and then I'll probably use the harder reeds all the time. But the soft reeds have a great quality all their own and they are so easy to use.

you might be able to do a 2 even, alot of people start on that buy 1 of each maybe, also I like the standard of excellence, used that when i first started out

the thing with scales is that you can't play then unless you know the notes!
i started playig today and right no i am using a strength 1 1/2.
i would recommend going to a music shop and having a look through all the tutor books and see which one you understand best because i like the abracadba series, but others like the rubank and other seris, so it is a preferance realy.
