Subj: [kl] Best Etudes/Method for Learning Scales?
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 15:51:44 -0500

Dear Folks,

What, in your opinion, would be the best method/etude book for an
intermediate adult player who wishes to develop thorough knowledge of the
scales? I am looking for a system that possibly incorporates exercises in
many keys, and might be more enjoyable musically to work through than a
straightforward book of scale exercises (as I find the one I have rather a
drudgery to plod through, especially when I am tired in the evening.)

Previously, I have worked with C. Baerman's Complete Method for Clarinet,
Op.63 (1st and 2nd Divisions (which I think is wonderful), and I am looking
for more.

Apologies for this being a potentially loaded or ignorant question (or if I
am fooling myself that such a method might exist), but I thought asking the
group might help me execute a more productive initial search, instead of
having to flip through stacks of music books blindly.

Thanks sincerely,

Mike
