Improve Faster Than Ever &
Know Exactly What Makes The Difference

I totally understand how busy life is!

One of my goals with NextStep Clarinet was to make it intentionally easy to digest. I have another program called The Next Generation Clarinet Method, which is a 70+ page method book with over 160 videos that goes through everything from putting the instrument together to playing advanced exercises.

But nobody has time for all of that!

That's why NextStep Clarinet takes my latest and greatest teachings and makes it all as straight to the point as possible. If you have about 3 hours of time to commit to this over the next month or so, then you have enough time to get a lot out of it!

And with the lessons on practicing in here, you will be able to get way more and longer lasting benefits from the same amount of practice time.

It's like taking 3 hours now to upgrade your brain to be able to move 3X faster in every practice session going forward!

If you are anything like my other students, I have no doubt that you have other method books, courses, playlists on YouTube, and you might even be taking lessons...

So you are asking yourself, why should I spend money on something else when I already have these other things I've invested in?

Well ask yourself, why aren't you getting as much as you can out of the resources you already have?

I guarantee those other things can work, but why haven't they?

1. You haven't actually looked at them.
That's why NextStep Clarinet is short and to the point, so you can get in and immediately get value. Every lesson has really compact notes as well, so you can even just spend a couple minutes reading through the notes of each lesson and get a ton out of it!

2. You went through them, but they didn't make much difference.
This is where NextStep Clarinet could really be a game changer for you! The problem with method books is they give you a bunch of notes, but don't tell you what to get out of them. The problem with courses is they give you a bunch of information, but don't really tell you how to implement it. NextStep Clarinet doesn't just give you information, exercises, and implementation, but it also goes to the root and foundation of everything. As you gain a deeper understanding of The Pillars of Progress, you will start to understand how everything works!

This means you can go back to those other resources and understand how they work, which will give you exponentially more benefit!

When your teacher says you should do long tones, you will now know why and how.

When you see a YouTube video on a crazy practice technique or air exercise, you will know why it works and be able to implement it in the most effective way for you.

NextStep Clarinet is the course that will unlock the value in everything else you already have!

Don't get me started on "talent", but my short answer is that it doesn't exist and you don't need it (you can watch this video if you want the long answer: https://youtu.be/fow22IW7MqA).

I guarantee you have all the capacity you need to make the music you want. The problem that people run into is that they don't realize where they are lacking and focus on the wrong thing.

You may be thinking you simply can't move your fingers fast enough to play fast, but speed isn't about finger strength or dexterity, it is about mental rhythm and connection to the beat. 

NextStep Clarinet covers every key fundamental, so it will be perfectly clear where your strengths and opportunities for improvement are. As you do the exercises and start solidifying every foundation, you will be shocked by the things that are start coming more easily!

Ah, yes, the trickiest question...

First, I offer a full money-back guarantee. My mission is to help your clarinet playing. If I don't deliver on that, then please let me give your money back! If at any time you feel like NextStep Clarinet wasn't worth it just email me at [email protected] and I will refund 100% of your payment no problem!

Now why am I making you pay for this in the first place?
There are thousands of videos on YouTube that have lots of great ideas on how to play clarinet (including mine), but how many of those have made a significant difference in your playing over the long term?

The reason is because when you pay you pay attention, and the more you pay the more seriously you take things.

If you paid $5 for this, how seriously would you take it? If you paid $5,000 for this, how seriously would you take it?

By the way, if you were to take the slow private lessons route, it would probably take about a year and $5,000 before you covered everything in NextStep Clarinet, assuming you are studying with a great teacher who understands and knows how to explain everything in this course.

Honestly $97 is an arbitrary price point that I think will be a good level of investment for most people to take it seriously enough to really benefit.

However, I don't want money to be a barrier to anybody who wants to learn the clarinet, so if $97 would be a financial burden, but you really want NextStep Clarinet, just send me an email with the price point that feels like a good investment for you and I am happy to make that happen!

Great question! From your perspective, I may just be a random guy on the internet, and with all the junk that is out there on the internet (like the $100 clarinets that come with white gloves 🤮), it is very wise of you to be skeptical!

Here is some background to get to know me a little better:
My name is Josh Goo, and I have a Masters Degree in Clarinet Performance from Northwestern University, and have attended other very selective programs like the Aspen Summer Music Festival.

I've taught privately for well over a decade, and have experience teaching students of all ages from kids just starting out, university students at Colorado State University Pueblo, and adults as a regular teacher with Michelle Anderson of Clarinet Mentors and as Co-Chair of the International Clarinet Association's Enthusiasts Committee.

Over the past 8 years of running QuickStart Clarinet, I have made many successful online products, including The Next Generation Clarinet Method, which has sold over 350 copies, without a single person asking for a refund.

If you are interested in hearing me play, you can check out a recording of a Faculty Recital I did here:

And if you want to get a taste of my online educational materials, you can check out my Free Members Area at https://www.quickstartclarinet.com/getstarted 

At the end of the day, I am just a guy on the internet, on a mission to share my understanding of how the clarinet, music, and practice work with as many people as I can so we can all make more music and make the world more beautiful!

Life can be so crazy, so I totally get it!

The only question I have is, if not now, then when?

You may be saying after this busy season, or big life event, which may be perfect, but how many times have you already said that?

Life will keep throwing things at you, but it is up to you to take control and prioritize your clarinet playing...if you want.

If clarinet isn't a priority for you, that's totally fine! Go take care of whatever you need to.

If there is something particularly challenging in life right now that you need to get through I get it, and you have my best wishes for making it through as smoothly as possible! If you are serious about improving your clarinet playing, then set a reminder on your phone to come back to this page when you think you will be ready.

I think I covered pretty much everything, but if there are still any questions that you have, just send an email to [email protected]

I respond to every email, and am always happy to hear your unique situation to make sure this is the best fit for you to succeed!
