Being a musician involves the development of many skills. By natural
talent I am assuming a natural good tone as a result of an understanding
of who the tone is produced. If a player can not produce a good tone this
should become the chief area of work.
I am sure that even the very best of clarinetists could improve some
of there skills through hard work. The ability to sight read and play a
piece musically is still a goal for me and something I am working to achieve.
