Easy Sheet Music for the Clarinet

Practice Your Clarinet with this Easy Sheet Music

I started learning how to play the clarinet when I was in the fifth grade. The clarinet is not that hard to play; I had trouble making a sound on the flute, so I went with the clarinet. My guess is, if you knew a little bit about music notation and had a good fingering chart, you could probably teach yourself how to play, but you'd need some music to practice with.

This easy sheet music is perfect for beginners. If you're teaching yourself, taking private lessons, or learning with your school band, these songs can give you a little bit of extra practice.

The Buffet B12 Student Clarinet (above) is one of the most popular clarinets for beginners, although it is not the least expensive.

I bought this clarinet fingering chart when I started playing the clarinet for my church "orchestra". I'm the only person in the orchestra, but I do play alongside the piano and the organ. I hadn't played in more than a decade, so this really helped. If you're learning on your own and don't have a fingering chart, this can help.

    Good luck! When I started playing again, it had been quite a while too, and I was playing for the church. At first, it was difficult and it was hard keeping up, but now I can sight read just about any new song they try to throw my way. I've been playing again for about two years now. Pastor always jokes about how he has an "orchestra" section at the church (that's me).
