Turkina E. Clarinet. First Steps. Piano score and part

These are the first steps of clarinet studying to be rather labour-intensive for little ones. Isn't it hard to train breath, holding body and head, keeping up with hands, fingers and tongue, taking care of rhythm and pitch. However, most of educational editions represent too impetuous methods of studying, for there may hardly be created smart music of two or five sounds. Therefore I arranged classics so as to make a teacher play almost everything, while a pupil's part is played simultaneously as a counterpoint on two or more sounds. It would be useful for a pupil to perform independently his own part, stamping pulse with foot before playing ensemble. 

The represented collection is formed of traditional songs, however, the word “traditional” is not indicated in titles. Here you may also meet rarely performed early music, so as the classics of the 18th-20th centuries.
