Hey guys, I just have a quick question.

Can long tones for the sax be similarly used for the clarinet? I have Top Tones for Saxophone by Rascher, so would it be beneficial for me to do some exercises from there for my clarinet? Or is there a specific way long tones should be done for clarinet?

Thank you.

Yes,
Long tones don't really vary. you play a note for an extended period. This helps build up your embouchure control and helps you stabilize the note. Check against a tuner too as this will help you to build up your basics ear for intonation.
