adult beginners

I am working on a book which deals with adult beginners in different musical instruments. I am wondering if you could share some of your experiences in your journey to learn to play the clarinet. I have heard from cellists, oboists, flutists, harpist, violinists, bassoonists, pianists. I would like to know why some people take up the clarinet as adults. I am also curious to find out what kind of problems they face to take up an instrument like the clarinet. Most of adult beginners are passionate about their instruments, and they tell me that music making has changed their lives. Many of them attend summer camps to learn more. I would like to find out what you want to do with your clarinet - to be able to play in a community based orchestra? Is there a special piece you would like to learn to play in the future? Any thoughts or insights you have gained since you started playing the clarinet? I will be happy to learn anything you may have to say about your journey with your clarinet. I hope that you will write to me when you have time. I will be most interested in reading your accounts. Thank you for your contribution.
