This collection brings together his essential method books and solo collections across clarinet, oboe, saxophone, and trumpet. These books pair well with private lessons or band class instruction, offering both structure and musical reward.

What's inside

Things to consider
Start with Book One of the 80 Graded Studies series if your student is new to the instrument; the progressive structure makes it clear when to move to Book Two. If you teach multiple wind students, Davies's consistent approach across clarinet, oboe, and saxophone means you can apply similar pacing and teaching methods across your studio. Pair the studies with solo books like First Book of Clarinet Solos to give students performance repertoire as they build technique.
