When you reach the section where the clarinets cross the break, you may wish to copy the following exercises, and have the clarinet players practice these pages before continuing in the band method book. It is extremely important they play the following exercises in the exact rhythms, and keep a steady tempo at all times. Speed is not important. Rhythmic motion will help insure a good hand position. Going slowly is far more important and helpful than trying to play quickly. Again do not make this a big deal. Just tell them these songs are for fun.
