101 Top Hits for Clarinet

101 Top Hits for Clarinet – 101 popular songs for clarinet

101 Top Hits for Clarinet is a substantial collection of 101 popular songs arranged for clarinet. Combining major contemporary chart hits with viral favourites, the book is designed for beginner and intermediate clarinetists who want to develop their playing through music they recognise from charts, streaming platforms and popular culture.

The arrangements have been created with accessibility in mind, featuring simplified rhythms, approachable key signatures and comfortable note ranges. This allows developing players to concentrate on melody, tone and musical expression without being held back by unnecessarily difficult technique.

From Anti-Hero and Espresso to Birds of a Feather

The repertoire reflects contemporary popular music with favourites including Anti-Hero, Birds of a Feather, Espresso and Pink Pony Club. With 101 songs in a single collection, players have an enormous variety of familiar melodies to explore.

The contemporary repertoire makes the book particularly motivating for younger clarinetists and anyone looking to complement traditional exercises, studies and lesson pieces with popular music they already know and enjoy.

Accessible for beginner and intermediate clarinetists

The music has been carefully arranged to make the songs approachable for developing players. Simplified rhythmic patterns make the notation easier to read, while accessible keys and comfortable ranges help players build confidence on the clarinet.

This makes the collection a natural bridge between early clarinet study and a much larger repertoire of complete melodies. The variety of songs also provides plenty of opportunities to develop rhythm, articulation, phrasing and a confident musical flow.

Inspiring repertoire for lessons and home practice

101 Top Hits for Clarinet works equally well as supplementary lesson material or as a substantial repertoire collection for independent practice. Familiar melodies can make everyday practice more enjoyable while allowing students to develop their skills through music that already feels relevant and recognisable.

With 101 songs across 176 pages, there is plenty of repertoire for hours of playing. Whether practising at home, performing for friends or simply playing popular melodies for enjoyment, this collection provides developing clarinetists with an inspiring selection of contemporary music.
