Denny-Chambers, Kristen_Prep Steps Before You Kroepsch for Clarinet

In Kristen Denny-Chambers' Prep Steps, each key signature is given a single page of ten exercises, with each exercise one line in length. She wrote Prep Steps as preliminary material to Books 1 and 2 of the full version, aimed at advancing pre-college and progressing undergraduate students. Exercise nos. 1 through 6 utilize familiar patterns including scales, thirds, arpeggios, pedal tones, neighbors, chromatics, dominant chords, and diminished chords. Exercise no. 7 features challenging octaves. Exercise no. 8 is meant to challenge one's approach to repetitive articulation. Exercise no. 9 is designed to be played slowly and expressively to focus on beautiful connections, and exercise no. 10 is built as a speedy challenge; both showcase disjunct leaps.   Quick factsLength: each exercise = 1 stave Range: highest pitch = written G6Key signature: no ♯/♭, 1♯, 2♯, 3♯, 4♯, 5♯, 1♭, 2♭, 3♭, 4♭, 5♭, 6♭Time signature: 3/4, 4/4, 6/8, 9/8, 12/8 Compare different editions of the 416 Progressive Stu
