Re: Books for key changes

The Technique of the Saxophone by Joseph Viola is a great book for learning to play in different keys and moving from key to key rather quickly. It comes in 3 volumes: Scale Studies, Chord Studies and Rhythm Studies. In the scale studies, an exercise is worked in every key. Then, it is followed by a section called polytonal variations. In this section, each exercise changes keys very quickly. I found the exercises in this book to be quite beneficial in what you are wanting to focus on.

I used these books while learing the saxophone but use the exercises on the clarinet as well.
