Welcome to the Klezmer Clarinet!


The Klezmer Studies and Methods series offers an integrated approach to learning klezmer music. Doina: The Complete Improvisations of Dave Tarras is a guide to the structure and practice of improvising in the klezmer idiom. Transcribed in loving detail, each of Dave Tarras's improvised solos provides invaluable material for the aspiring klezmer musician.

Doina is the first book in the Klezmer Studies and Methods series and the first educational text to explain how improvisation works in klezmer music. Doina will be released in the summer of 2017. Sign up below to stay on top of our progress.



The Klezmer Studies and Methods series is supported by a generous grant from the Iguana Music Fund.
