Teaching-you Clarinet Skills is the ultimate beginner's CD-ROM for anyone who wants to learn to play the clarinet. Starting from the basics of assembling your clarinet through to and including all the knowledge required for Grade I, this program will teach you all you need to know in a clear and friendly way. As you progressively learn the key fingering positions and how to read music, you can play along to backing tracks or have a go at performing a solo.

Teaching You Clarinet Skills contains 100 inspiring and easy-to-follow lessons, with supporting video clips and MIDI file accompaniments to play along to.

Presented in a clearly laid out interface, everything you need for one lesson is accessible off the main screen.

You can also print out scores and sight-reading exercises to help develop your music theory and reading skills.

2. Practise your skills
Practise your newly-learnt skills with real audio accompaniments. Speed up, slow down or mute others instruments or select certain bars to loop, allowing you to practise tricky areas.
