a clarinetist couldn't be a dumb jock
Physical fitness is an essential part of music. Breath support, full
use of the diaphragm, posture that allows you to breath properly,
strength in your arms and wrists to support the instrument with
conscious thought, coordination and dexterity, concentration.
Many world class clarinetists have an separate exercise regimen
specifically for this reason. A musician is seldom a couch potato
(although a couch potato can think of himself/herself as musician).
Cheers,
Bill
