100 Essential Exercises for Clarinet is a collection of exercises designed to improve finger positioning, hand positioning and overall technique. Most of the exercises are 32 measures in length. Although most of the studies are written to be played in a legato (slurred) manner, other articulations can be applied. Some of the exercises are written for specific problem areas such as over the break, interval connections, left-hand pinkies and right-hand pinkies. There are a number of pages for scale and arpeggio work, along with five solos at the end of the book for applying articulations. The etudes in this book will enhance the technique of any clarinetist.
