Stretching the Canon Newsletter

Stretching the Canon is a monthly newsletter written by Cameron Hewes (owner of CAMco Music) that offers a smattering of clarinet-y intrigue.

First and foremost, it presents a curated list of titles with a particular focus—sometimes pedagogical, other times whimsical. Past collections include "Works With More and More Extended Techniques," "Long Tone Pieces," "Music for Summer," or "Getting Your Money's Worth (Out of That A Clarinet)." 
As an added bonus, the highlighted titles are eligible for a 10%-off discount using the enclosed newsletter-exclusive coupon code (available only during that issue's month).

Besides the above main course, the newsletter includes plenty of tidbits that only a clarinetist could love, ranging from insightful (composers born that month, with a balanced mixture of minorities mentioned) to entertaining (clarinet-themed puzzles, doodles...).

Curious? Simply purchase some sheet music from CAMco—a complimentary copy of the current issue is included with every sheet music order. Or, if you're jumping at the chance to receive every new issue on day one, purchase the 1-Year Subscription for a bundle discount.
