Advanced Studies for the Clarinet
by Victor Polatschek

In Spring 2020, I began the Polatschek Performance + Master Class Series on YouTube. Similar to those who have created videos for the Rose etude books, I recognized a lack of resources for Victor Polatschek’s popular method book. These etudes are an excellent resource for the advancing performer, featuring an array of styles and genres that work on improving every aspect of clarinet technique. It’s been really fun to create these videos and I hope that they provide a useful resource for the clarinet community.
