Nothing worthwhile is easy, or if it is, it soon becomes boring. Even
enjoyable activities are not necessarily easy, only that the dificult parts
are enjoyable in themselves.
As for your advice to study with someone, I will be soon (as soon as his
schedule settles down...). It's been a while since I forally studied, and
I feel the need of some good, focused critism.

The clarinet teaching is not easy comment I made, I should have elaborated
on. There are many factors which we do not have much control of that make
our teaching lives more complicated. That includes - last minute sicknesses
of students, sports games where the game (not just the daily practice)
happens to fall on lesson day, a parent forgetting to bring a student to a
makeup lesson, kids being too busy to practice, custody situations where
they can't practice regularly, etc, etc. Those situations are not taught in
music school, and are addressed on a regular basis. The actual "in the
lesson instruction" is the easy, and fun part.
Good luck Bruce.
