Today\u2019s installment of Arachnophonia<\/a> is by student manager Eliana (class of 2024) and features books on musical technique for clarinet<\/a>, oboe<\/a> and flute<\/a>. Thanks, Eliana!<\/em><\/p>\n

Back to Band<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Were you a band kid in high school that hasn\u2019t picked up your instrument since you arrived at Richmond? If so, here\u2019s your chance to get back into the swing of things! I played the clarinet \u2013 so I\u2019m partial to upper woodwinds<\/a> \u2013 but here\u2019s a few books for late beginner\/intermediate woodwind players that might help reinvigorate your love for your former instrument. <\/p>\n

A Tune A Day For Clarinet<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

This book offers some initial lessons on tonguing<\/a>, finger placement, and scales and also has accompanying pieces to work through that utilize the skills practiced. If you finish it and feel like a pro, volume two<\/a> (also available at Parsons Music Library) has some more difficult songs and arrangements for even more growth. <\/p>\n

Belwin’s Oboe Method<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Belwin's<\/a><\/p>\n

Also divided into multiple books, Belwin’s Oboe Method<\/a><\/em> is a great way to return to the basics of oboe playing. It divides songs into keys, has some necessary scales and talks musical terms. If you move on to volume two, the songs get a little more complex and you learn all about syncopation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Foundation to Flute Playing<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"foundation<\/a><\/p>\n

Foundation to Flute Playing<\/a><\/em> takes a lesson-based approach; the book is divided into 59 lessons that get progressively more challenging, and the back is filled with some fun songs to try your hand at after making your way through the lessons. From the chromatic scale<\/a> to cadenzas<\/a>, this book doesn\u2019t leave anything out!<\/p>\n

If you played<\/a> a different<\/a> instrument<\/a> and wanted to check out some books or scores for it, just ask any associate at Parsons Music Library and they\u2019d be happy to help you find what you\u2019re looking for! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
