What strategies do you use when practicing out of the Kroepsch daily studies?

I LOVE the Kroepsch Studies !!! When there is no time to practice, the only things I use are the Baerman scales (book III), the Kroepsch and the Stark Arpeggios book.
For me now, I want to cover as many different tone centers per day as possible. After a quick review of thirds and sixths in all keys, I'll plow through as many key centers in Kroepsch as possible before running out of time (usually about three.......twelve pages at the least). Of course you have to remember that although you get most of your standard combinations for Germanic, Romantic music, there is still a plethora of techniques that they don't cover.

Here's my two cents.
Tongue everything relatively slowly at first to get your patterns set. Then, varie your articulations (two slurred, two tongued/ three slurred, one tongued, etc.) so your mind and fingers are in sync. Then, go for it.
For warm ups, I have found nothing beats the Polatschek 12 Etudes or the Opperman Advanced Velocity Studies.
My favorite Kroepsch is his Variations on the Opera Der Freischutz (edited by Bellison). Long out of print, but available at a few clarinet music download sites, this is a superb encore selection for a recital. I have used it numerous times.

Er, what Peter said.
There are 4 books.
I rotate through Kroepsch studies once or twice a year.
When I do, I pick one of the first 3 books, then play all the way through the book, I do this 2-3 times a week for a few weeks, then go to the next book.
Book 4 is Etudes in all the major and minor keys. Great stuff.

Book one and two, daily studies. I used them in my teaching forever. I ask the student to play each separate line, or two, slowly to get them accurate and smooth and then speed them up over the weeks practice playing each one at least four times a day. Some should go very fact, others concentrate more on the large intervals always playing the dynamics carefully to play them fast, smooth, in tune good tone, even and musically. At our lessons i would have them play it through twice and then go to the ending.
