"My idol, Buddy DeFranco, who helped me turn the corner has come up with one of the best exercise studies for the clarinet. If you play all of these exercises first, slowly and then up to tempo, you will be prepared for anything."
Eddie Daniels

"Unique studies from a 'unique' clarinetist -- Bravo Buddy DeFranco."

Bunky Green

"Here is a book for the development of technique that will prove to be of immense value to clarinetists of all ages, at all levels of development, and for benefit in the interpretation of all styles of music. Hand in Hand with Hanon is akin to being hand in hand with DeFranco."
