The methods used vary based on the current level of the student. 1. Scales/Fundamentals/Long Tones: Scales are the focal point of Western Music. We will gain the skills of learning and memorizing scales to establish the proper fundamentals.I will teach the student several ways of practicing Long Tones in order to develop their clarinet tone. 2.
