So far I have Baermann III, Rose 32 and 40, and the Celebrated Klose Method (Bellison). Those are pretty much the 3 clarinet basics. I also have some very easy books that I used in junior high that I grew out of. I want to expand my library and start learning some things from a new book, while at the same time still working through the 3 books that I own right now. What 1-3 books would you recommend that I buy next to expand my library? I will be going to Luybens in a few weeks and here is their selection to choose from:

Thanks for all the help!

Definitely the Uhl. I'd also recommend doing the other divisions of the Baermann since you're already using Div. III.

GBK mentioned Stark Arpeggio Studies, and I'd say this is one of the top books for building a good technique. Also stark "24 studies in all tonalities."

In addition to GBK's recommendations, take a look at Opperman's Modern Daily studies (vol 1 and 2).

Curious: How do the Stark arpeggios differ from Klose and Baermann III? What is great about Stark? Never seen it, so I'd love an in depth opinion!
What is the Uhl all about?
What does the Langenus Book III include?
Opperman Modern Daily studies?
Pretty much asking why you recommended these Method books! Thanks so much!

Let us not forget our sight-reading, counting, odd meter and compound rhythm building skills. Strongly recommend, "Rhythmic Articulation" by Pasquale Bona. Primarily a vocalist book, the Bona forces the student to count and subdivide etudes beat-for-beat. Also, great for solfege, singing and clapping out rhythms. v/r Ken

Clarinetgirl -
The stark arpeggio studies are very different from Klose and baermann III for several reasons. 1. Each study covers many tonalities. 2. There are excersizes for playing large intervals (etude #3, which has been my warmup for the last few years).
You really should just check this volume out. Its not that long, and not an expensive publication. This book will really help you.

Get a jazz book too - expand your horizon.
"Jazz Conception" for Clarinet by Jim Snidero is a great book published by Advance Music.

Langenus Book III is the last of his methods books: Virtuoso Studies.
It has some very useful studies, and about half consists of wonderful clarinet duos (and a trio). The duos go back to Playel and Spohr, Mozart and Beethoven --and Langenus.

To further the discussion. Are there anymore studies that involve "ancillary"(i.e. Not scales) technique exclusively besides the Stark arpeggios?

GBK's list is good, I would recommend acquiring Jeanjean etudes. This will get you working with whole tone scales, pentatonic scales, odd meters, and in general, help prepare you to play the difficult French works such as Daphnis and Chloe. Also, the works of Jettel, he wrote very challenging studies. The studies by Opperman are amazingly difficult. His etudes make some of the hardest pieces of repertoire seem easy in comparison. Also, Victor Polatschek wrote a great book of etudes. He based a number of them on challenging pieces in the repertoire, which after learning the etudes, are a little easier. Also, don't limit yourself to clarinet etudes, the flute etudes of Andersen are great for developing your upper register, and in particular, articulation in the upper register.
Good luck!

As I've written numerous times, Arban's Complete Conservatory Method for Trumpet is invaluable to use for not only finger dexterity, but sight reading, tonguing and rhythmic studies...GBK
