As a guitar player I can tell you it is very easy to fall into shape and pattern cliches on the fingerboard when improvising, and not think about the notes. I have just taken up clarinet and am curious if this is also the case for clarinet. Of course I am talking about obvious cliches, and realise creativeness is up to the individual players skill and inventiveness.

I think cliches occur with every instrument when improvisation is taking place. If you listen to one of the best improvisors on the clarinet - Sidney Bechet - you will soon recognise very typical Bechet cliches!! Finger patterns happen all over the place. Get very familiar with arpeggios in all sorts of keys and you'll find yourself using them all the time but in an inversion or style that suits and is typical of you.

Well I play Bass Calrinet/Clarinet/Percussion and there are many cliches on the clarinet. Like breaking the bridge (a to B). If you need any help e-mail me.
