Free Teacher’s Handbooks

We are here to help

All clarinet and saxophone teachers are familiar with the struggle to get scales and arpeggios properly known. Learn Your Scales and Arpeggios provides everything you need to meet this challenge with a little input at the beginning of each lesson and practice session.

The Teacher’s Handbooks are PDF files. You can store them on your device or print them.

How to use this:

  • You cannot teach from the Teacher’s Handbook alone. Your students will need to obtain the lesson downloads.
  • The worksheets with their practice plans are cumulative and should be worked through in the correct order, with nothing left out. The boxes marked “Done” in practice plans should be ticked as a record of what has been covered.
  • The tutorial videos provide demonstrations; however, they cannot be used alone for instruction.
  • The Teacher’s Handbook enables you to monitor work covered. The contents of each practice plan are listed in the Teacher’s Handbook so that you can test the student as appropriate.
  • Some of our rules may not conform to the way you play, but we have aimed for consistency to avoid confusion.
  • The whole process looks huge and daunting, but the expectation is that it will be completed over several years of learning.

Learn Your Scales and Arpeggios will get the job done so that you can spend more time teaching music.
