Reddit mentions of Complete Method for Clarinet: Third Division

Really, the only way to do it is to practice your scales and arpeggios! The Baermann scale book (division 3) is what almost every clarinet player uses. It has every way to play a scale that you could ever imagine.

When I have fast scales and arpeggios, I don't look at every note; I've practiced them enough to know what comes next. If there's a note in the passage that isn't in the normal scale/arpeggio, I circle it to make sure I actually look at that specific note.

Edit: [here's the Baermann on IMSLP](http://imslp.org/wiki/Vollst%C3%A4ndige_Clarinett_Schule,_Opp.63,_64_(Baermann,_Carl)! Again, division 3 is the one you're looking for. You can also buy your own, easier-to-read copy on Amazon. You'll most likely be playing out of that book for the rest of the time you play clarinet; I think it's worth it to spend a little on it!

Reed strength is actually more dependent on the mouthpiece than on you. If you have a close mouthpiece(orchestral), you need a higher reed strength. If you have an open mouthpiece(jazz) you need a low reed strength.

It's harder to play the really high notes with a low reed strength.

Also, if you're going for an orchestral tone, try Gonzalez reeds. And bump up the strength to a three at least - you can get singlets if you go to good(not chain) music store.

Arbans is recommended for clarinet students as well, but it doesn't cover the highest and lowest registers - you should grab Baermann's III as well.

Art of Clarinet Playing talks a lot about the mechanics and embrochure without treating you like a five year old who can't tell a treble clef from a curlicue.
