Hello all,
As I mentioned in a recent thread, I've been getting back into clarinet recently and I'm trying to really focus on proper technique and tone production.
As part of this process, in addition to working on scales, arpeggios, and transcriptions/repertoire, I've also been working out of Klose's Celebrated Method (i.e., the commonly available version edited by Drucker & Drucker). However, the book has a lot of material just thrown together and, as a result, I find myself sort of jumping around in it arbitrarily. I'd like to try to tread a more methodical path through it.
For those of you who use this book (either for your own playing, with your students, or both), how do you use it? In particular:
- Are there certain sections that you find particularly useful?
- Do you have a specific progression that you recommend to students?
- What sorts of goals do you set for yourself or your students (e.g., tempo markings, etc.) and how do you decide when to move on from a particular exercise?
- Are there any exercises that you return to consistently or recommend for daily practice?
Edit: I'm playing both soprano and bass (to low Eb), so I'd also be interested in any exercises that target problems specific to either voice.
Thanks,
--Melchi
