I had a teacher like that too when I first started learning clarinet. I had
considered quitting more than once because of him and his attitide. After
taking a LOT of his "bad days" I found another teacher, stuck with the
clarinet and am still playing to this day. I've been playing for 29 years
now and teach clarinet myself. I try VERY hard not to pass my "bad days"
off on my students. It would be an awful thing if a really talented
clarinetist was turned off by my attitude. Music has been my one steady
love of my life. To deprive another of that same love because of my
selfishness or bad attitude would be unthinkable.
