Despite the lack of specific courses of previous clarinet those mentioned, there is a strong presence of clarinetists musicians in various areas of musical labor market, which arouses the interest of to know how was the process of formation of these clarinetists. The diversity of musical labor market demanded a delimitation of the research object and the fact that the bands of military corporations are the only institutions that offer formal jobs for clarinetists in the performance area in Maceio directed the focus of work for musicians these corporations. In order to collect the information necessary to trace a training profile of professional clarinetists active in Maceio institutions – as students to the ticket as professionals in the current year institution - questionnaires were applied to each of these and interviews with connected musicians teaching music and clarinet in Maceió. From the results, we can highlight the great participation of music bands as training of these professionals and the practice of the study of the scales as one of the elements addressed in class, at the expense of other elements related to the specific technique of the clarinet. This is due, probably because of the 22 professional participants in this study, only five learned from teacher with academic training on the clarinet. As for the entry into the institution currently working, half of respondents clarinetists were admitted through internal competition.
