Just interested what studies people have used, particularly at advanced level. So far I have used Weston 50 Classical Studies, Rae 40 Modern Studies at lower levels, and Vade Mecum, Uhl 48 Studies, and Perier Etudes. Does anyone know others that are good at about university/professional level? What about Klose, Muller, Baermann, those sort of people?

I've posted this before, but you certainly can follow Bonade's teaching syllabus.
Bonade used the Rose 40 and Rose 32 as the foundation of his teaching. He said (and I'm paraphrasing) that those books contained 90% of the preparation one would need to be an orchestral player.
The order of his teaching syllabus was:
Rose 40
Rose 32
Rose-Rode 20 Grand Studies
Stark Arpeggios
Baermann IV
Baermann V
Cavallini 30 Caprices
Stark 24 Studies
Jeanjean 18 Etudes
Jeanjean 16 Etudes Moderne
Stark 24 Grand Virtuoso Studies (two books)
Capelle 20 Grandes Etudes (two books)
Perier 20 Etudes de Virtuosite
Perier 22 Etudes Modernes
Perier 30 Etudes d'Apres Bach, Paganini
Jeanjean Etudes Progressives et Melodiques (three books)
You will find that a number of teachers, both past and present, use(d) many of these same method books, in roughly the same order.
(The reason that Klose and Baermann III are not on the list, is because Bonade expected the student to have already known these studies before coming to him.)
That being said, Baermann III is something which I would recommend to "permanently leave on your music stand". Play out of it each and every day...GBK

A couple others that I have seen used at the college level are:
Hamelin, Gammes et Exercices
Bitsch, Douze Etudes de Rythme
Opperman's Velocity Studies, especially the higher-level ones are also at this level.
As GBK suggests, there have been a number of threads on this subject before. You can put together an extensive list from a search of previous threads on the board.
Best regards,

As suggested by a colleague, I recently picked up the Klose - 20 Technical Studies for Clarinet (edited by Stanley Drucker) International Music Company, 1973, which amazingly I did not have in my personal music library.
These are 20 Klose exercises which are not found in the large Klose Celebrated Method, and are very suitable for advanced high school students and beyond.
All lie within the middle of the clarinet register and are designed to build up endurance, technique and articulation.
As usual, Drucker's editing is perfect ...GBK

I would add the Cavalinni and Opperman Daily Studies Bk 1. The Opperman studies will give you an excellent workout if you have limited time to practice.

Where would you place:
The Accomplished Clarinet (bk 1) - Jettle
in the list of studies you mention GBK?
The top or bottom? any order?
Thanks

ALL Jettel exercises, whether in the Preliminary Studies to "The Accomplished Clarinettist" or "The Accomplished Clarinettist" are difficult since they ask your fingers and ear to negotiate and accept unfamiliar patterns and passages.
In some respects they can be considered the most advanced of clarinet methods. Playing through them can make you feel like a beginner.
Thus, it is often suggested to do them in small doses, so as not to lose confidence in your playing ![[wink]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smilie3.gif) ...GBK

Speaking of the Jettel and Opperman Studies, I would recommend that you add these into Bonade's syllabus as well as Uhl's exercises. Bonade's syllabus, especially in its most advanced stages, is focussed on French etudes (not surprising since he was French), and I think it would be a mistake for a clarinetist in this day and age to ignore the advanced pedagogical methods of the other national schools.
