Build reliable, even articulation across the full range of the clarinet.
This intermediate set of repeated-note scales is designed to develop greater clarity, coordination, and confidence in articulation across all registers of the instrument. It’s an exercise I return to regularly myself to clear out the cobwebs, as it quickly reveals how well the tongue, air, and fingers are truly working together — especially as you move through the break and into the upper register.
At this level, the focus isn’t on speed, but on consistency. If you find it difficult to maintain a good quality staccato, try playing the scale in a more tenuto style first. This helps ensure the air remains active and well supported as you work your way up the scale.
In a nutshell:
Establish clean, even repeated-note articulation
Build endurance and control across all registers
Develop coordination between air, tongue, and fingers
Maintain tonal consistency without tension
Includes:
Printable PDF
Repeated-note scale studies in major keys
Clear tempo guidance for developing players
Ideal for daily technical practice
Suitable for intermediate clarinettists
