Howdy Folks:
After having resubscribed to this list several months ago, I figure it's
about time to delurk, especially since I've decided to resume playing after
many years.

After having played all through elementary school, high school, and college
(Columbia University Wind Ensemble and Orchestra), grad school and the "real
world" "conspired" to curtail my active clarinetting. A few times in the
last ten years, I've picked up the instrument, but I've never generated
sufficient momentum to make it a habit, probably because I really enjoy
playing in groups rather than woodshedding by myself exclusively, but I need
much woodshedding before I have regained enough proficiency to play in a
group.

To this end, it probably would be a good idea to find a teacher on the
Peninsula (Menlo Park/Palo Alto area preferred) who would be willing to take
on an adult who is likely to become frustrated periodically since he knows
what the instrument is supposed to sound like ;-) Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
