Hi,
I'm a clarinet performance major comming up on the end of my sophomore
year. This is the time of the year when they ask you if this is REALLY
what you want to do with your college carreer. And, Yes, I want to
be a performance major. My only problem is that I'm very short. This
may not seem like that much of a problem to anyone who is tall but I
assure you, it is. The reason it's such a problem is because, from
what I've been told, to make it as a pro, you must be able to play
any clarinet in the family like the bass clarinet. This is were my
handicap begins. See, I cannot even barely hold an alto clarinet much
less a bass clarinet. Should this really stop me from persueing a
career as a clarinetist? Thanks, gotta go.
