As I read the thread on motivation/procrastination, etc., I wonder whether a better atmosphere or ambiance in which you practice clarinet may play a role in it.
Many of music majors in the BB seem to have mentioned things like 'stuck in a practice room' and so forth. As a matter of fact, my teacher also told me that in his college days he practiced the (Korean) national anthem over and over and over (with three other friends in his band) in a cube-like practice room with no window, until the score was all memorized and tunes were perfectly harmonized...It sounded amazing, but I can't envy that.
As an easy-going amateur, I have the luxury of using my living room as my practice place, looking at my 'garden'(=some 30 pots of flowers and trees lined up in the apartment veranda), and at the same time fully enjoying what music I make with the instrument. I also enjoyed tremendously practising at my mom's countryside loghouse, again looking outside scenery.
Do I sound too naive, helplessly amatuerish?
