Considering what a small demand there is for jazz clarinet players, I would
suggest that jazz is best learned in conjunction with learning the
saxophone. The ideal situation, if time and money allow, would be two
cooperating instructors (one teaching classical clarinet and the other jazz
saxophone). This would provide the maximum potential for future success as
a jazz/commercial player. I assume such an occupation exists in Australia.
(Better study flute in there somewhere, too.)
