Subj: [kl] May i have some Advice?
Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2001 19:11:25 -0500

Hey everyone,
I have a couple questions, but they all group into one major one. First
I'll tell you about myself. I'm 16, and I am seriously thinking about
majoring in music and all that other stuff. This past weekend I was at a
regional band festival and i practiced hard for it, but I only managed 5th
chair our of 15. Now I don't know if this counts but I haven't had a private
less although I've wanted them, and I'm still stuck on a student model artley
with student level mouthpiece. I just recently discovered different brands
of reeds such as vandoren and mitchell laurie.
So my question is, how can I get better? I've tried so hard, and
practiced so much, and my heart is in it. But I can't seem to beat this
prodigy's. But it's more than that, I want to get better. It's one of those
things you stive for you're whole life, and I'm stuck now. Any advice? Any
suggestions? I open for anything...
Thanks,
Chris
