Things to consider
Start with Level I if your student is brand new to the instrument; each level builds sequentially, so moving through them in order keeps progress steady. If you're directing a band, pair the student books with the corresponding teacher's materials to stay aligned on pacing. Bass clarinet and alto clarinet books in this series follow the same progression as standard clarinet, so switching between them or doubling on a second reed is straightforward.
