the post below on "books you work out of" made me wonder what everyone actually PRACTICES on a daily basis, and for what purpose. Here's me (and I certainly don't represent this as an ideal scenario):
Flute: always begin w/ the Moyse "Tone Development Through Interpretation", esp. the low-note etudes; then a symphonic flute part (e.g. Till Eulenspiegel) OR flute solo (Hindemith, Debussy etc.) OR orch. excerpt
CLAR: always begin with several pages from Baermann 3 or an old Buddy deFranco scales/chords/chromatics book I've got, then same as flute: excerpts, solo (Brahms chamber pieces & the Schubert Octet are faves) etc.
BASS CLAR: Several pages from deFranco or Baermann 3, then something challenging (e.g. Bach cello suites) then playing off changes (mostly standards) to maintain my miniscule improvisatory skill
SAX: well, I never usually get around to sax, unless I have a gig to practice it FOR.
SIGHT-READING: Advanced Rhythms by Joe Allard, Modern Reading Text in 4/4 by Louis Bellson
In asking the question, though, I'm esp. interested in which books you find helpful for what problem (e.g. I use the Moyse because it seems to set my flute emb. correctly,and obviously the scale books for clar/b-clar promote finger flexibility).
And I'll appreciate suggestions for what I can improve, BUT--what does YOUR practice day look like, esp. if you're a frequently working doubler.
thanks.
