Subj: [kl] broken bone practice methods.
Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 06:52:26 -0500

Hi all;

this is a sad post from Australia. I have broken my wrist and can't
play for 8-10 weeks.
I am worried about how I can keep my breath control etc. while in wrist
prison!!!!
Any ideas or tips on recovery physic specific for clarinet - it is my
right wrist and the bone I broke is right where I need to take the
weight of the instrument ....
Maybe i can use a neck strap or something till the wrist is stronger?
After a morning in hospital I'm feeling quite sad and sorry for myself-
and the thought of not playing and of losing breath control whilst in
recovery is a downer so any help would be welcomed .
thanks
VIVACE.
