Most of the pieces to be found here were not originally written for the clarinet. Their aim is to acquaint students, at he beginning of their studies, with the works of old masters. It is desirable that by gradually mastering the necessary technique, the students should develop the faculty for solo performance. These selected pieces give them initial help.

Der grossere Teil dieser Stucke sind Ubertragungen, also ursprunglich nicht fur Klarinette komponiert: sie sollen den Schuler schon im ersten Jahr seines Studiums mit der Musik alter Meister bekannt und vertraut machen. Es ist wunschenswert, dass dem Schuler gleichzeitig mit der Entwicklung der spieltechnischen Fertigkeit auch das Empfinden und Gefuhl fur richtige Vortragsweise geweckt und gefordert werde. Hiezu wollen diese Vortragsstucke zweckdienliche Hilfe leisten.

Jazz Conception is a new and exciting way for players at all levels to learn the language of jazz! Each book features 21 solo etudes based on chord changes to standards and blues.
The same 21 etudes transposed and adapted for the main jazz instruments.
Play along with one of today's finest, swinging New York rhythm sections: Mike LeDonne on piano, Dennis Irwin on bass, and Kenny Washington on drums.
Start out fairly easy, then get progressively more difficult.
Use the etudes as a bridge to solos of the masters that are usually more complicated and involved.
Learn melodies and lines that will give you a solid jazz vocabulary and musicality.
Use the book/audio downloads sets for private lessons, for self-study, or in any combination up to a full jazz ensemble, including flute and clarinet.
If you are more advanced you may want to use the book to develop your sight reading abilities, for transcribing the etudes off the audio downloads (then check against the book) or for just having fun playing along with a great jazz rhythm section.
Use as an improvisation study, learning how to construct a swinging, logical solo - works especially well in combination with the Study Guide.
The Jazz Conception Series is also perfectly suited for the class room. It can be used to develop younger students jazz style in a big band or small group. In an improvisation class the teacher can use the etudes as studies in improvisation. The Study Guide provides an analysis of each etude, along with practice assignments for each etude.
