The Bass Clarinet (Method) by Jean-Marc Volta. International Music Diffusion, 1996, PB, 119 pages. I am quite impressed by the French/English language method for the bass clarinet by Jean-Marc Volta, the principal bass clarinet of the French National Orchestra. This is an excellent source of detailed, professional bass clarinet techniques and a wonderful resource for fingerings. It would be suitable for high school students and older who are coming from the clarinet to the bass clarinet and for current bass clarinetists who are searching for more information on how to become proficient on their instrument.
