Welcome to Klarinet, Scott! Do you mean to say that you are now
going for your undergrad degree? Congratulations to you for deciding
to undertake such an endeavor! You are nothing short of an inspiration,
not to mention validation, especially for the innumerable others on
our Klarinet list who are pursuing clarinet studies after many
years away from formal training. Are you beginning your undergrad
curriculum this Fall? With whom will you be studying? Best of luck!

Neil
