For beginner students, I use a variety of lesson materials. If the student is involved in band, I try to stick with whatever book their teacher has assigned them.

For clarinet players, it is important to have correct hand position, embouchure, tonguing, and other fundamental knowledges. With students who are just beginning to learn clarinet, I start a Russian book called "Clarinet School" by S. Rozanov and "Clarinet Studies" by A. McCandless. For improvement technique, I use H.
