Re: The Beginning Clarinetist Thread

Author: BethGraham  Date:   2019-05-09 21:23 The way I'd approach scales, if I had your goal of being able to easily play the music you like, is to identify the key your piece is written in, and then practice that scale a bit before you play your song. That may help get the sharps or flats "in your fingers" so you can enjoy playing your song more. (I wrote about this at some length in replies in another thread.) Don't overdo it. Scales are tools to help you play music more fluidly. Play the notes of the scale you decide to work on. Play the scale very, very slowly, to figure out what it sounds like and how your fingers are supposed to move. Don't feel like just because a scale is written in 16th notes (yikes!) you have to play quickly. Go slow. The important thing is that you do what serves your musical goal. Beth
