This is the perfect nostalgia trip for clarinetists of a certain
generation! I admit that sudden seeing a book of tunes (for
clarinet and piano) in 2010 from a 1970s children's television
series was a bit of a surprise. although looking on Amazon's
website, the DVD is ranked No 1 in sales for children's V. so there must still
be an audience enioving its charms. The ten tunes in this volume are wonderful short pieces of light music, most of which are very
programmatic and would capture the imagination of younger learners, even if they were unfamiliar with the cartoon. The
simplest is an easy Grade 1 standard, but most (due to their chromatic nature) would be good for a ver confident Grade 4 student,
with some pushing towards Grade 5. While there are many good jazz-style delight to see a book of light music
that is well written and carefully presented - including a few pictures in both the piano and clarinet parts. Now, I'm off to get
out my bass clarinet to play that theme tune.
