This book by James Rae is designed to familiarise the clarinettist with the various rhythms and phrasings encountered in modern music. Each study deals with a particular aspect of rhythmic playing, ranging from jazz and rock to modern classical interpretation. They are all of short to moderate length in order to maximise concentration on style and are arranged in order of difficulty. Early to advanced grades.
