The pages from the Labanchi method probably are good as a warmup or other practice, but as far as I can see there's little unique or special about them. There's dozens or hundreds of similar looking pages in other methods and exercise books. - Not meaning to put the Labanchi excerpts down; I could see someone using them on a regular basis and getting results.
At times I use a slow-medium-fast speed progression like the Labanch depicts on music or passages I'm trying to improve. Slow, to focus on improving the basic clarinet sound of it; medium, for reinforcement of correct agility; and fast, to reach for the next level.
On the copied pages, I'm curious what the handwritten note at the top, "same note shape" might mean. I'd normally incorporate articulation practice in exercises like this, but that's probably not what the note is about.
