My son is a very good, but not elite high school clarinet student (high school and county honor band first chair, makes All-State). His private teacher still uses etudes every week. It's not Rose or Klose, but he does work from multiple other books. He also still does old fashioned scales, arpeggios, and the like. He actually spends more time on etudes and less time on repertoire than I did 35 years earlier. A great deal of time is spent on honor band audition pieces though. The audition pieces are typically transcriptions of solos written for other instruments -- usually by less well known composers. My son is not intending to major in music at university so his experiences may be different than a more serious student
