Subj: Crummy clarinetist

Hello everyone,

This coming academic year I'll be attending the Interlochen Arts Academy
(I can't wait). My question is this: What should I do after that? I
really want to major in performance but I'm not a "gifted" clarinetist by
any means. At the present time is there work out there for less than
perfect clarinetists? I don't relish the thought of living with my
parents until I'm 30.

How competitive is is out there? I live in the land locked capital of
alaska (30,000 people) and so I don't get any exposure to that type of
thing. Any help will be...helpful.

Adios and thanks,

Peter Salveson
