Build even, reliable finger movement — one scale at a time.
Working on scales in seconds is a practical way to develop coordination, control, and consistency in the fingers. It’s an approach to scale work that I return to often in my own practice and teaching, because it quickly highlights unevenness, tension, and habits that can otherwise go unnoticed in straight scale patterns.
The studies move through major and harmonic minor keys, covering the full range of the instrument and helping build confidence in less familiar keys. Used regularly, they support lighter finger action, improved technical reliability, and ultimately cleaner passagework.
In a nutshell:
• Develop even finger movement and coordination
• Improve fluency through intervallic scale patterns
• Strengthen control across all registers
• Support mindful, efficient technical practice
Includes:
• Printable PDF
• Scales in seconds in major and harmonic minor keys
• Clear, consistent layout for daily practice
• Suitable for developing to intermediate clarinettists
