Re: Using Clarke effectively...

Also fun is to change the modality of them after memorized, go through major, minor, the different modes... if you really want to confuse yourself do 2nd study in whole tone

Also try articulating them, but keep the air moving the same as in slur

One needs to look at them (or similar type studies) until the day they quit playing. IMO Clarke Technical Studies are right up there with Arban and Saint Jacome for building technique and more important sound.
