For those who are relatively new, or have not yet discovered it, there is a section of the bulletin board where the "Best of the Best" threads have been compiled.
You may want to take the time to check out many of the excellent, informative and thought provoking discussions from the past few years:

GBK, where has this section been residing. More to the point . . . when I forget about the thread where you just mentioned it, how do I find it again?

Unfortunately not all of the links work from the keepers. I wanted to revisit this one, the six day practice rountine from GBK, and couldn't. I had printed it out happily and relocated it. But it's too bad the link didn't work anymore.

I'm not sure why the link no longer works, but you can find the 6 day practice routine here:

Neither am I - other than the thread reference was completely different than the one GBK just gave ... I didn't think that moving threads would cause any renumbering ... perhaps it was an obsolete link in that thread and GBK had re-written it.
I updated the link in the "Keepers" section.

Ginny,
Thanks for psoting that link, but now I have to ask...
No long tones? This is a little strange to me. Go in the finest band
rooms in the nation, they play they religiously...I know that's why I
sound so good. How could they be misconstrued as unproductive? Daunting
practice routine though.

Long tones by themselves are an inefficient use of your practice time.
I do not use long tones in my warm up and do not advise my students to use them either. I feel that they accomplish very little and take unnecessary time away from scales and arpeggios, which are the building blocks of technique.
A better approach would be to play your scales very slowly, listening for smooth connections between the notes, and checking that the down and/or up movement of each finger is absolutely precise and seamless.
I also do not think that long tones help to improve your tone quality. Playing notes slowly, in context, whether scalewise or arpeggiated, and matching their sonority and color will do much more to develop your overall tonal concept.
Music making is the connections of notes at different speeds, not just one sustained note...GBK

I have no clue what you mean, Don. There's a link called "Avail. Forums". Or just go to http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/
