Subj: [kl] scale book

There is another version of the Baerman scale book.
It is called Upbeat Scales and Arpeggios

The studies in this book are evolved from the
Baermann Scale studies. For impetus and
melodic direction, I begin each exercise on
the upbeat.
Moreover, I wrote the studies
using eighth notes in Alla Breve so that
you can play at your own pace.

All the studies are re-ordered from the
original to a more logical sequence,
staying within a given key for each
exercise. They cover a broad range of
musical forms including simple, interrupted
and returning scales; major, minor and
broken chords; dominant sevenths, thirds and sixths; fifths and octaves
and diminished sevenths

I've included many diagrams to help one learn new fingerings,including
some that are not commonly known.

David Blumberg, Adjunct Clarinet Instructor, University of
Pennsylvania, has observed that the upbeat approach I take in this book
is similar to the 2341 method used by Marcel Tabuteau of the Curtis
Institute. This method gives direction to each musical phrase.
