Considered as a specialty instrument, the BASS CLARINET is Rarely studied in french conservatories.

The pedagogy for this instrument being pactically inexistantdespite a strong interest for the subject among clarinet players, I felt compelled to write a method. I was further encouraged by the frequent use of the bass clarinet in today's music.

The student, future professional, indipendant instrumentalist, or impassioned amateur will find here, I believe, an essential foundation which will permit him to progress, and to confront the difficulties of the classical and contemporary literature
