The daily maintenance, for clarinet
The routine you'll keep for life. Serious players run their scales every day — the shapes that keep the muscle memory there, so the fingers move freely: high, low, fast, slow, loud, soft, whatever the music asks. This is that workout, made simple. No streaks. No XP. Just scales.
Built for B♭ clarinet. Read it as written, hear it in your key, play right along. Correct transposition is handled; the concert pitch is shown for when you're with a pianist.
A model to match — across the break. Press play and the scale sounds at your pitch, on the staff, at the tempo you choose. Running each scale the full range, slowly, is exactly how you smooth the throat-to-clarion register break.
What's free, and what's deeper
All 12 major scales — straight up and down, up to two octaves, on every one of the 69 instruments — are free. The full range of the horn is part of the Full Studio. When they're fluent, the Full Studio opens minor scales and arpeggios, intervals and chords, chromatic technique, in the same simple format.
