3 composers: W.A. Mozart- Clarinet Concerto In A major K.622, C.M.V. Weber- Clarinet Concertino, Aaron Copland- Concerto for Clarinet. There so many famous performers- you could easily do a search for any of the material you're requestiing on yahoo or even doing a search on this Bulletin board. -Corey

And how much are you willing to pay someone for doing your homework? That's the interesting fact I want to know....

Chapter 1
See the student.
The student has questions.
Chapter 2
See the library.
The library has books.
The books have answers.
Chapter 3
See the computer.
The computer accesses web sites.
The web sites are often unreliable and poorly researched.
Chapter 4
See the student.
Guess which one she chooses.
Guess her final grade...GBK

I would have thought that someone who had played the clarinet could have answered "3 composers who wrote for the clarinet and the names of their pieces, a famous performer and some other interesting facts" without even referencing the library ...
Or could have visited the Compositions section here and chose from a few thousand ...
Or could have made an <b>attempt</b> at finding out the answers before posting here.

BTW, saint_amy, you're very lucky I didn't get here first - I would have deleted the answrrs from Corey before you saw them.
Please, everyone, do <b>not</b> answer the easy questions like these. Pointing someone to references where they might open their minds to accurate data is preferable. If someone then has a question that isn't so easily answered, perhaps then we could help with the research (like Don Berger knowing how to get through the USPTO site faster than most of us, or my library of musical instrument and music publishing history).

Mark correctly states: "...I would have thought ...etc..."
Having taught in the public schools for (too) many years, nothing surprises me anymore.
How to do research, how to use the library and its related reference sources, etc.,..etc.,..etc...
Most students haven't a clue...GBK

Saint Amy, you say you are doing it yourself???
But you're not - that was my whole point as i believe others too from GBK and Mr. charette's postings.
To point you on your way:
look up clarinet in google search
look up some of the names that come up from the google search
look up some of them in reliable places on internet
there - that's only three things you have to do on your own...
Good luck.

Saint_amy, I doubt that you were given your assignment on Sunday with no time to access references. The internet,luckily for you, works 7 days a week even here in Oz. Get to work on YOUR assignment. The main reason assignments are given to students is to get them to learn how to search for information, not just for the specific topic, but as a tool for later life. Getting other people to do it for you is not helpful to you in the long run.

Some of the curmudgeonly sarcasm above was excessive and surprised me. I don't think it's fair to assume automatically that every student who asks for help is trying to get out of doing his/her own work and I doubt if any of us has never been caught with a deadline problem of some kind - how soon we forget......
Giving tips on how to do research is much more constructive.

I think that he /she should at the very least make some independent effort on his /her own. Probably shouldn't have waited till the last minute either. I do not know what they teach these kids today. Take math, you are basiclly taught to push buttons on a calculator. If your batteries go dead, so are you. I remember during a final exam, my calculator went dead. I finished the test with paper and pencil square roots and all. How many kids can find the square root of 96 with paper and pencil? When I went to school a calculator was used just to speed up complicated operations. The fundamental difference was that "then", you could do (with pencil and paper) everything that calculator could do, "Now" you don't.

Mark P! You know what my Grandkids would say about that? "Twelve miles to school, all up-hill, no Bus, noi Shoes, four inches of Snow Yada Yada Yada---" And then I would get off my soap box and we would all laugh.

Enough on this one now.
Please remember that there are people here to help - but not to do your homework for you.
