N°1 Diatonic Scales - Chalumeau register

This first book of scales enables the beginner clarinettist, who is still only playing in the low register known as the chalumeau register (from low E to medium Bb), to begin studying the scales, seconds, thirds and chords of the least altered major and minor keys, as well as chromaticism.
It fills a gap in the teaching repertoire of the beginner clarinettist, and is designed to facilitate study and optimise the development of digital technique.

Encouraged by Jean Françaix, who hailed him as ‘an excellent musician and tireless arranger’, Frédéric Cellier wrote a number of pieces of light music and a considerable number of arrangements in all styles and for all instruments acclaimed by numerous personalities in the music world.
Along his university studies (DEA in musicology, University of Paris IV-Sorbonne), Frédéric Cellier was awarded three first prizes and a development prize at the CNR of Nice and won first prize at the International Competition of Musical Execution - soloist category – of Stresa (Italy).
He is the laureate of the Fondation de France and the Yehudi Menuhin Foundation and accredited teacher at the CNR of Nice, the CNR of Marseille, and at the CRR Olivier Messiaen of Avignon (France).
Frédéric Cellier is the interpreter of Francis Poulenc’s Sonata for clarinet Bb and piano with Jean-Michel Damase, Jean Françaix or Gabriel Tacchino, but also performs his own version for clarinet, piano and string orchestra of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in blue for Wynton Marsalis or under the baton of Adrian Gershwin, grandson of the composer.
