My thanks to Ed Lacy for his response and the others who were helpful. I
thought I was asking a simple question of some colleagues.
I have played clarinet for 23 years and taught in public schools for 10. I
am very proficient on every band instrument(I just choose not to play oboe
that much). I do demonstarte tone production on all the instruments and am
currently playing french horn in a community because there are 16 clarinet
players and only one horn player. I performed in last years concert with my
beginner trombone section on trombone and used to go to a saxophone camp
every summer(I knew sax had to sound good at some point!) My tuba players
love to challenge me. Sometimes I win, sometimes they win. But they enjoy
the challenge. My trumpet players can't understand how I can play so loud
with a controlled sound. As any drummer will tell you, my rolls could use
some work.
I do attempt to be part of the solution. When I feel I am overwhelmed, I
turn to others for info as I have done here. Thanks for the input and
technical advice for those who offered.
