Great blog about technique but her recommendations for books on technique are ambitious to say the least for beginners. I would suggest David Etheridge's "A Practical Approach to the Clarinet" series (he has one each for beginning, intermediate and advance clarinetists, only $15 each), J.B. Albert "24 Varied Scales and Exercises for the Clarinet in All Major and Minor Keys" edited by Julie DeRoche (the practice patterns are written out fully as opposed to the original edition, only $13) and "Prep Steps Before You Kroepsch" by Dr. Kristen Denny-Chambers, only $12. Much more approachable and realistic books, lovely new plates for printing so all are very legible. For beginners I would also suggest learning one flat and one sharp, then two flats and two sharps then moving to three flats and sharps instead of going around the Circle of Fifths recommended by Dr DeRoche.

Great thread! It has made me think about what I would do differently when I returned to my clarinet about ten years ago as well as what and how I need to approach my practice sessions now.
