I've heard it from Benny Goodman and Eddie Daniels alike. I studied from it in college, and I've been seriously studying it since March and have noticed a marked improvement in my playing. The first exercise ends on a triple C. (I would recommend Ridenour's altissimo fingering book to accompany.) The Baermann book is titled "Baermann Method for Clarinet Div. 3" by Carl Baermann, ed. Langenus. It's basically 55 pages of 16th notes. It includes scales, broken chords, diverse chords, diminished chords and inversions, staccato, trills, thirds, sixths, interrupted and returning scales, and chords of the seventh . . . almost all of it in 16th note drills. No need for a drill sargeant with this book! With regard to clarinet technique I’ve always heard, “If you can play the Baermann book, then you can play anything”.
