More about this title

Why we love this

This accompaniment book pairs directly with State Contest repertoire, eliminating the hunt for reliable piano parts that match the clarinet soloist's edition. Pianists get 40 pages of professionally prepared accompaniments that support rather than overwhelm the soloist, making these pieces genuinely playable in lesson studios and recital halls.

What to expect

Polished, supportive piano writing that complements the lyrical and technical demands of contest repertoire. The accompaniments provide harmonic color and rhythmic anchor without overshadowing the clarinet's voice.

Who it's for

Clarinet students working toward State Contest or festival performance at Levels 3-5, and the pianists who accompany them in lessons and recitals. Studio teachers and band directors preparing soloists for competition will find this essential for comprehensive rehearsal preparation.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the accompaniment dynamics to sit slightly behind the clarinet line; the piano should support the solo voice, not compete with it.
  • Mark tempo and character indications clearly so both players absorb the same interpretive intent before rehearsing together.
  • Use the accompaniment to establish harmonic foundation and rhythmic stability, freeing the clarinetist to focus on phrasing and articulation.
  • Rehearse opening entries together until the pianist can reliably cue the soloist without overt gestures.

How to use it

Pair this book with the corresponding clarinet soloist edition to build a complete solo recital at a studio recital or festival performance. Teachers can also use selections within ensemble concerts when featured soloists need performance opportunities alongside their regular band or orchestra commitments.

Skills your students will build

  • Ensemble listening and blend with an accompanying instrument
  • Sustained phrasing over longer piano figures
  • Rhythmic precision against varied accompaniment textures
  • Understanding harmonic movement and how melody interacts with harmony
