Should I Play The Clarinet - Richard Spilsbury
Richard Spilsbury's book Should I Play The Clarinet explores a variety of topics centered around musical performance, specifically concerning performance practice of clarinet. He starts the book by asking why people play musical instruments and then transitions into what a clarinet is and how it produces sound. Branching onto bigger topics, he touches on musical families and what type of music is possible within those families, specifically the clarinet family. Lastly, the book touches on who plays the clarinet and how one would go about learning to play the clarinet with a list of recordings, a timeline of clarinet history, and a glossary with some further resources to follow. The book is good introduction to students interested in joining band or orchestra, and would likely be a good resource in a 2nd or 3rd grade classroom when discussing various instrument types and how to decide which one is for you.
