Baermann 3 and The Good Life

There. If you are one of the 65% of college students, or anyone else, for that matter, suffering overwhelming levels of anxiety and you clicked that link, we're cool, all this clarinet stuff is small potatoes.
Which, in a nutshell, it's how Bil Jackson taught me to use Baermann 3 to warm up, and my extolling the virtues of a fundamental warmup. Yada yada yada.
In the mental health portion of the video I also mention this article:

Here's the 1982 Marcellus master class audio link:

Thank you, and in return! As time goes on it is more and more up to us grandchildren to pass it on.
Jack! I love this video. So much wonderful information and so many great ways to think about things!

Thank you! You encourage me.
Marcellus taught at my school. Everyone talked about him.
I'm going to work out my 1 Hr warmup. I do it on piano though. We all talk about Jackson too. He didn't practice that much; but, then he did practice. I got to get my warm ups. It drives me nuts. I hope I can do this.
Wisdom. Thanks!

Hi Jack, thank you so much for your content and efforts to make these videos. I am an adult un or re-learner after a 30 year gap. Enjoying many community bands, orchestra, jazz and now am also learning sax and guitar. I’m looking all over the internet for this Baermann 3 and getting terrible results. Will you please post a link to some source so that I may identify the correct book. I have a Baermann’s Op. 63 2nd division revised by Langenus. Is this the book series you are referring to? I see inside the cover a list of books named 1st, 2nd, 3rd and complete. (Can you believe ranging from $1.50 to $6.00 😂) Thanks in advance should you see this message and respond.

www.clarinetallmusic.com/products/baermann-clarinet-method-op-63-div-iii-daily-studies-carl-fischer This should be the same book as mine, although mine looks slightly different in type. It’s also on imslp: imslp.org/wiki/Vollständige_Clarinett_Schule,_Opp.63-64_(Baermann,_Carl) Which may or may not be public domain, depending on your country of residence. Many of my students have all their music on an ipad, but I find paper easier on the eyes. Have fun!
I can't even play that for an hour. I am good player too. This is such torture for me to play through that so long.

That’s really interesting. Torture physically? Mentally? An hour doesn’t seem to be that long to practice in general, especially for a good player. I’m not saying anyone has to do anything in order to succeed, everyone is different. There’s hardly a clarinetist I know of my generation who hasn’t heard that recording and that story, so “an hour of Baermann, every day” came to be sort of a merit badge, a sign of commitment and serious intent, if only to oneself. It may be an arbitrary measure of fitness, like being able to run a 5k, but it’s part of the lore. I guess we’re lucky those kids didn’t practice Baermann two hours a day.
