Review:

This new book by Michele Gingras is a veritable feast of clarinet-related information....Gingras is a 21st-century clarinet educator of the highest order. She compiles and collates information from a wide range of sources and encourages us to be creatively divergent in our thinking and approach to playing and teaching the clarinet....Highly recommended.

More Clarinet Secrets appears, at first glance, to be a straightforward follow-up to Clarinet Secrets, but it is more than that: In its emphasis on practical advice for the more prosaic daily challenges that clarinetists face, it is a very different book—and arguably a superior one. ... It is also a denser and more granular work. . . . As clarinetist Howard Klug mentions in his introduction, More Clarinet Secrets can be opened at random for 'instant gratification and motivation' (p. ix). There is not a single wasted word or self-indulgent digression to be found here. The sheer quantity of information in this slender volume is astounding. . . . Gingras’s advice is often simple yet strikingly original. ... Although there are countless pedagogical works on the clarinet, many written by acknowledged masters of the instrument, there is nothing that matches the sheer scope and utility of More Clarinet Secrets. Every music librarian would be well-advised to acquire a copy—perhaps even two or three. (Music Reference Services Quarterly)
