easy clarinet solos

A lot of the music that we offer here at the Clarinet Institute can be difficult to play for the average player. That’s why we’ve put together this collection of easy clarinet pieces.

Are you someone who played clarinet in high school or college and haven’t touched it in years. Life gets in the way and sometimes we lose touch with our music. If this sounds familiar then this collection is perfect for you!

Are you an elementary-intermediate player and want to have more fun playing the clarinet? This collection is perfect!

This archive contains both SHEET MUSIC and SOUND FILES 

  • 52 works for clarinet and piano. That’s something new every week for a whole year!
  • All of our Sound Files work on both PC and Mac. The disc version has data files. It will not work on an old fashioned CD or DVD audio player.
  • These files provide high quality sound and can be played by your computer, your home stereo system or even through your phone or tablet.  Scroll down to see a list of all the music.
  • The sheet music for this archive is included!
  • Sometimes, even easy clarinet music can get out of hand. For the more difficult pieces, we’ve added alternate recordings that are 15% slower. Just enough to take the edge off but still sound musical and be fun to play!

These are easy pieces. Some are more challenging than others, and they are all fun to play! Nothing is too fast. The music is all familiar. Nothing goes higher than B above the staff. No advanced techniques are needed. Both young and old will have a great time reading through this music with the piano accompaniment provided.

Downloading our archives is easy!

You can get your music archive now with our digital downloads.  Just a few things you need to know:

1.  After your purchase, you will get a  download link.  

2.  These are huge .zip files. Make sure you have enough room on your hard drive before you start your download. Also, if you don’t know what a .zip file is or how to work with one, do your research before you download.

3.  Do not attempt to download to a smartphone or tablet.  For some reason, smart phones are generally not happy with large files.  

4.  Only attempt to download from a wired or a strong WIFI connection at home. Don’t try to download at Starbucks…..  Public WIFI is notoriously unreliable. 

5.  Because these .zip files are so large, they will take some time to download. We recommend that after you hit “Download” don’t do anything for awhile, especially if you have a slow internet connection. Check your “downloads” folder. That’s where the .zip file will end up for most people.

If you have a strong WIFI or wired connection at home, these digital downloads are a great way to get you digging through your history archives right now!
