Re: scales/arpeggio books

I am a big fan of the Baermann Book III scale book (interrupted scales, returning scales, dom sevenths, thirds, sixths). Within the standard scale mode you can decide to play them more "etude like" by being more rubato, dynamically flexible, and changing up the rhythms and articulations.

Also I have become quite fond of the full line of the Kroepsch clarinet books. The first two are one or two line etude like exercises that go through all the scales and most of standard, Germanic classical music turns of phrase. Then books 3 and 4 take that up a notch harmonically and get you a bit beyond the basic scale structure. Really good stuff.
