Legato Training – Chalumeau to Clarion Register (Free Download)

$0.00

This is one of my favourite legato exercises. It is not only efficient, but quickly illuminates where weaknesses tend to lurk. Used daily, it strengthens airflow, voicing, and register connection through expanding interval patterns.

Over time, your legato playing will feel — and sound — effortless. 😬

This resource is ideal for intermediate to advanced clarinetists looking to develop:

• Continuous, well-supported air
• Smooth register crossings without attack or instability
• Embouchure stability and efficient hand balance
• Active listening and refined tonal control

Includes:
• Printable PDF
• Clarinet in B♭
• Clear performance guidance
• Metronome-based practice approach
