As a returner to the clarinet I have really appreciated some of the comments
about how approach this. But I have a question on someone elses behalf.
I know an old gentleman who recently lost his wife after about fifty years
of marriage. He is well into his 70s and has a deep love of music. He is,
understandably devastated, and struggling to find something to fill his
life. He has expressed an interest in learning a musical instrument and the
clarinet in particular.
I'm sure he's not alone in wanting to begin a musical instrument at this
stage in his life and I wonder are there organizations or individuals
(especially in the UK) with experience in meeting such needs.
