And my memory-building is a little slow at this stage, so a chromatic scale exercise on the2nd page of exercises is a little early.  I would love to be practicing that, but the basics of the keys F, C, and G are keeping me pretty occupied for now.  So I kind of have been using the watered down edition for now:  [https://www.amazon.com/Kloze-Lazarus-Method-Clarinet-Comprehensive-Methods/dp/1540001415/](https://www.amazon.com/Kloze-Lazarus-Method-Clarinet-Comprehensive-Methods/dp/1540001415/)  \r\n\r\n\r\nMight come back later, it's just that a lot of more basic stuff isn't automatic yet.  I suspect that the book I linked can be outgrown relatively quickly.  The stuff in the back doesn't look insane, but it is a foreign instrument for now.","subreddit_name":"Clarinet","author":"MTaur"},{"body":"The easiest scales are probably F and G.  C has you crossing the break, which I'm having to practice a lot.\r\n\r\nI found this one was kind of basic but not childish, kind of assumes you know notation basics already, or at least doesn't waste too many words on it if not:  [https://www.amazon.com/Kloze-Lazarus-Method-Clarinet-Comprehensive-Methods/dp/1540001415/](https://www.amazon.com/Kloze-Lazarus-Method-Clarinet-Comprehensive-Methods/dp/1540001415/)  It might be a little too easy if you can blow easily in all the registers but forgot some fingerings.  It's basically notes and intervals and long tones, with occasional not-too-boring melodic snippets mixed in where they fit.","subreddit_name":"Clarinet","author":"MTaur"}]}
