Re: USE OF SCALES

I prefer the Baermann Complete Method for Clarinet Division III. It's not just a scale root to root, but extended scales (covering most of the clarinet range for every scale) in various forms such as scales in thirds, scales in sixths, arpeggios (two forms), interrupted scales and returning scales (plus dominant 7ths and diminished chords).

Even that is still just a start. I'd also suggest getting the Kroepsch exercises. You have two pages of one or two line "ditties" in all major and minor scales. Familiarity of scales and scale like exercises makes sight reading a piece of cake.
