| During my undergrad in France with Eric Aubier, we would have a contest every week with the 2nd Clarke study. Our goal was to see where Aubier would fold....took him 6 weeks, when everyone else did during the first two weeks. We did the studies normal, minor, diminished, augmented, with an augmented half step, whole tone...but the hardest one was one made by a jazz player...can't remember his name but everyone failed.
Practice scales as much as you can, well and transposing (also being able to read the other clefs), you never know when you'll have to play a trombone or viola part at a gig.
Thank you Mr. Carroll for sharing your knowledge with us.
