Artistic Studies, Book 1 (French School): Clarinet - Clarinet Music Book with 40 Studies, 32 Études, 9 Caprices - Clarinet Sheet Music for Kids and Adults - Beginner Clarinet Book with Easy Lessons Paperback – October 1, 1986

Good for practice.

The book came on time, and it was in perfect condition!! Thank God!! God bless y'all

My little brother is enjoying it, it’s keeping him entertained.

Love this book so much, just gave it a read through and I'm loving a lot of what I'm seeing. I like a lot of Hite's added expressive notation, and most of it is exactly the same as what I've handwritten in my copies of these etudes. I also enjoyed the short history lesson at the beginning, as well as the footnotes. Also, I am so thankful for the tempo markings and extra detail that you just don't get elsewhere.My only complaint that I have is that I wish the paper that it was printed on was white and not that kind of antique-ish paper. It's still great, and I like it because it handles pencil and erasing a lot better than the white paper that Carl Fischer uses.

Great resource

I purchased this book in December of 2020 because I was working on a few of the etudes for all region auditions and knew that some of the pieces I would read in the future were in that book. The book is totally durable and the print came out super well. If you’re wanting to buy this book definitely buy it here! I love using this book of etudes.

I'm pretty late to the clarinet (I play various other instruments), and I've only studied with my teacher nine or so of the Rose Etudes so far, but the ones I've studied have advanced my technique surprisingly fast and I've found them very musical and pleasing pieces. David Hite has edited these in careful detail such that I never have to wonder when to take a breath or how to interpret a phrase.EDIT: One year later I've studied all but a few of the Rose Etudes, and what I said above still applies.

5 stars for content, it is also the TMEA region book of 2021. If you live in Texas and play clarinet get this book if you wanna get used to the region style and get pre audition works. I went to area auditions so if that helps it helps.However it gets a 2 stars for quality of the book. It kinda falls apart easily. If you are taking the book to school or something, make sure to put it in a protective folder. The front page ripped off and the pages are ripping.
