As GBK has said, the Arban trumpet method is useful for clarinetists, because it has things that are not in any clarinet method. Trumpet players must learn early on to make seamless lip slurs and valve interchanges, so Arban gives many exercises.

Top professional clarinetists do things that even most conservatory performance majors cannot, and one of the main ones is seamless intervals. A standard clarient challenge is etude #1 of the Rose 40, and Daniel Bonade started his students on this first thing. It's well worth your time to get a copy of Arban and work systematically on perfecting the intervals.
