This is not a klarinet related subject, but I simply cannot let this go: I
strongly object to your statement that Dutch is a *dialect* of German.

Now that I have energed from my hiding place I want to say hallo to you all.
I teach the clarinet in music schools in The Netherlands. I have been a
pupil of Walter Boeykens (from Belgium). I am enjoying this list, from Dan
to Frances (I had been wondering when she would post again) and all the
others. Is that enough for an introduction? I would very much like to hear
from other teachers which studies and other pieces they use in the first
three years.

Bye, I am jumping back into hiding!

Judith.
