“A remarkable compendium of orchestral literature with practice techniques for musicians at any level. There is a depth and breadth of knowledge that translates to all facets of performance. Thank you for assembling this guide of practice strategies and I am thrilled to share with my students!”
- Michael Wayne, Professor of Clarinet, Eastman School of Music "Ran’s practice guide is a comprehensive resource- not just for audition preparation, but for all repertoire and aspects of your playing. I loved the practice reflections Ran sprinkles throughout the book. They’re really an encapsulation of his method of practicing, which is to not get bogged down on one piece or aspect of your practice, and to keep your mind active and focused at all times. This book really works for musicians of all levels, from beginner to professional, with fresh ideas and thoughtful reminders. Ran generously shares creative ways to practice his methods. His teaching is very familiar to me, and I would recommend this book to both students and teachers. By following Ran’s method, you’re ensuring solid fundamentals and well-rounded musicianship. I will definitely be using these techniques in my own practice and will encourage my students to do the same." - Benjamin Adler, Associate Principal Clarinet and E-flat clarinet, New York Philharmonic Orchestra |

Hats off to Ran Kampel for creating such a groundbreaking and thoughtfully crafted resource!” - Boris Allakhverdyan, Principal Clarinet, Los Angeles Philharmonic “This book is a game changer for any aspiring professional clarinetist. Organized practice is the key to performance success, and using real-world examples to illustrate the benefits of different practice techniques is an ingenious and innovative way to address issues that many clarinetists face in their audition preparation. A must read!” - Andrew Sandwick, bass clarinet, Boston Symphony Orchestra |
