Klarinet members,

I have another question to ask. Could anyone out there give me some
advice on a problem I'm facing? I have been playing bass clarinet for
five years. I really want to major in music, and I know my Bb clarinet
skills aren't totally up to par. Will this greatly affect my college
auditions? I have no technique problems, just my embouchure isn't that
great because I have been playing bass for so long. Will colleges accept
me if they hear my play both? I know there aren't to many colleges that
let you major in bass. Not the ones that I would like to attend. Any
advice would be very helpful.

Amy
