Subj: Re: [kl] ATG Reed system
Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2003 20:45:52 -0400

didn't get the 30 page book with mine. I was hoping that it was included with the system just because I'm an info junkie. I really found the video to be very informative and educational! There probably is a ton of additional information that could be added, but most people will not follow directions no matter how simple they are.

It's funny, I'll run into a clarinetist, everyonce in a while, who will ask me "How do I learn to play Klezmer music." I'll take a few minutes to explain how I learned it, which is how Giora Fiedman, Dave Krakaur, Andy Statman learned it. Which I explained in detail in my book. Usually one out of every two people with then proceed to tell me, exactly why what I have just said won't work. They don't try it. They don't follow the directions, they won't do what other successful people have done that works.

Knowing how simple it is to misunderstand anything that is written, this video does a great job in teaching how to analyze the reeds problems and does a great job of showing how to use the ATG device.
Sabine Meyer, in leather would have made me watch it more than twice.
