CIELO'S CLARINET LESSONS

July 10, 2025

Hi Cielo! Excellent to get started with you today.

ASSIGNMENT for next lesson

1) From the EXERCISES section below: get going with the full range scale sheet and the material on the KEY SIGNATURE REVIEW page (link below).

Also, identify more spots in your West Side Story book where you need my help.

Exercises-

Fingering chart for notes above high C up to high G:

Here's a scale sheet that consistently gets up to high G (ish) - get going with this and pay close attention to alternating pinkies (most/all of the time I've already written in L or R:

5.0 Major Scales and Arpeggios for Clarinet (full-range).pdf

Here's the link to the scale page I showed you today - As soon as I have a minute I'll post the remaining sheets for all the major keys:

We only discussed West Side Story and technique stuff today - ultimately I'll post more stimulating stuff - for now it could be fun to read a duet next week and maybe start digging in with some other styles of music:
