I understand totally. During my years of grade school, I was always
interested in other instruments besides the clarinet, especially the
saxophone. Now, I am finally taking the initiative to learn how to play
them. Recommendations--take lessons with a good teacher if you can. Keep
up your ensemble experience--that's fabulous, too.

Good luck!

Best,
