Thanks niaven!
Yes I wish I had it too when I was starting!
Well be prepared! I am working with a professional clarinet player in Greece and very soon I will have video lessons on the website.
The way I see it is a video that contains the following:
Song scale
Song played slow and simple
Song played with "stolidia" or "tricks" if you will
and Song played in couple different ways.
I will do that for a Bb clarinet since that is the most common but I can also do by request other pitches.
Let me know your thoughts. I might start another thread for this one to gather ideas from other people too.

Tseligas - you have a great idea! I would suggest that sheet music also be provided with the lesson and then people can follow along at their own pace.
I am providing the following modes for a greek clarinet. These are invaluable and as you can gather from my name I favour the Niavend scale.
Hitzas AA#C#DEFGA
Giourndi ABCDD#F#GA
Huzam ACC#DEF#G#A
Ousak AA#CDEFGA
Niavend ABCD#EfG#A
A suggestion - "O Haralambis" using the following scale EF#G#ABC#D#E is a great
song to practice "crossing the bridge" If you need notes please let me know.
BTW - I just finished learning "na s"agapo.... love the song.

Niaven ,
Thanks for your input, I will start putting together a section on Epirotika etc. Remind me, are you playing with a Bb clarinet?
You know, I 've been getting personal emails on how this sheet music in combination with the videos is helping people play their favorite songs.
I am really excited to hear that you finished sagapo. It would be great if you would post a video of that. I d' love to hear it!
Stay tuned!

Hello Tseligas!
I own 2 Buffet "A" (La)
I own 1 Buffet Bb
I own 1 Selmer Bb
I own 1 Albert Bb
I use a Van Doren 5JB and a Van Doren B45
I use 1 1/2 strenght reeds from Greece.
I am now playing with my Centred Tone Selmer Bb.
I merely mention these items as it will help in eliminating a lot of
research by others as to what is the best combination.
The youtube link is great and the rendition of Skaros is one that I would
highly recommend to people. If you would like notes for that song I can provide them for you.
By the way I favour Tsamika. Epirotika come in after Nisiotika and Syrta.

Great, I think a nice section in this website would be different "Klarino Setups"
Which is what you exactly mentioned right there!
I got
1 Bb Amati
1 Bb Buffet
1 B Buffet (yes just "B") that one is like brand new since nobody ever played that tune!
I use 1 1/2 Vandoren reeds
Tsamika are by faar my favorite too! I will send you a nice one I found out today..
Its Diamado from Kotrotsiou and it is one of the fast ones that you rarely find.
Regarding the notes I accept anything. I got a backlog of things I am working on with my highest priority the video lessons.

tseligas , the video for sths pargas ton aniforo, was very good it seem like old times with a clarinet teacher that i had , also the 19.95 subscription was well worth , ,with the video you have youre teacher access 24 hours a day, also the niaven post of the alekos kitsakis version is simple enough to play along too. see if you can come up with a few tripolisiotika trogoudia also . like styliani ,kitrolemonia, o kambos eprasinise, scale of re with a bflat clarinet .
