The range is too limited in the Klose'. While the exercise is good
for demonstrating an ability to play all of the major and relative
melodic minor scales, it does not show the ability to play them
cleanly and evenly throughout the range of the instrument (lower
chalumeau through altissimo). The panel will be interested in
this. It would be best to contact the school and be informed
regarding which particular scales the prospective teacher(s)
are interested in hearing -- then record them as played from
the Baermann.
