From the introduction:
"Whether you are a new clarinetist or returning after a long break, you will find clear direction here on the best habits to play the clarinet. Our goal is to get you playing music that you know and love as quickly as possible. At the same time, you will be developing proper techniques to sound good as you perform."
The book also includes a unique code for online access to audio, video, a scale guide, and a clarinet fingering chart. The videos comprise a total of 2.5 hours of instruction (spread across 21 videos), and there are audio demonstrations for many of the songs found in the book.
The contents are divided into 14 lessons, with each introducing new musical and technical concepts: First Notes, Eighth Notes, Accidentals and Key Signatures, Musical Vocabulary, Chromatics and Enharmonics, Sixteenth Notes, Triplets, Putting It All Together, Clarion Register, Connecting Registers, Tempo Changes, Upper Clarion Register, Altissimo Register, Continuing Your Journey.
New fingerings are progressively introduced, and each concept is executed with a handful of well-known songs. Additionally, there are regularly-appearing short finger exercises ("Loopy Loops") which are designed to help reinforce fingerings until they feel automatic. Every lesson ends with a play-along duet, and audio is included for each part independently, so the individual reader can choose either part to play.
The fingering chart goes from low E3 up to altissimo G6.
