Kloze-Lazarus Method for Clarinet: A Comprehensive Course of Study Based Upon Two Famous Methods

Kloze-Lazarus Method for Clarinet: A Comprehensive Course Based on Two Famous Methods is a progressive woodwind method arranged by Harvey S. Whistler for beginning to intermediate clarinet students. This revised and re-edited course brings together two celebrated clarinet methods, preserving time-tested instructional material while organizing it for modern studios, classrooms, private lessons, and individual practice.

The book presents standard music notation together with carefully sequenced instructional units organized by both key and musical topic. It includes additional material covering the low register and crossing the break, melodic studies that reinforce each newly introduced concept, and tone development exercises with particular attention to the upper register. The course also features a broad collection of classic melodies and studies that encourage musical expression while supporting technical development.

Harvey S. Whistler's editorial approach restructures historic Kloze-Lazarus teaching material into a clear learning sequence that helps players strengthen tone, finger technique, articulation, range, and musical phrasing.
