The Clarinet BBoard

Re: Are even clarinet hobbyists a dying breed?

Author: tictactux ★2017 Date:   2006-01-09 19:20 Last time I had class (it's located in a Jazz school) I checked the billboard. Singers, bassists, guitarreros are actively sought, for pianists and stringers the vacant/wanting positions are about 1:1, brass and woodwinds seem to be as esoteric as didgeridoos (is that a woodwind, btw?) I read about youth orchestras having problems getting new blood, especially in urban areas. In rural areas it's better where the young often are in a sports or music society, mainly because of the lack of competing recreational offers. Last but not least: keeping a band together is a full time job. Not many people have the enthusiasm to dedicate nearly 100% of their spare time for the necessary administrative and organisational tasks. Maybe Bollywood creates a blockbuster featuring a mouth- and eyewatering clarinetist (indian army horn!) and all of a sudden everyone wants one too... -- Ben
