I began clarinet more than three years ago at age 68. I'm not sorry about my choice (two good friends are also clarinettists), but it's a demanding instrument. Even with weekly lessons and daily practice, it's a tough road to proficiency -- and I've always been fairly successful in other activities (business, tennis, bridge).

Should you proceed, I'd advise a good, classically trained teacher. I'm fortunate to study with a member of the Toledo Symphony. I invariably get useful tips and depart with renewed enthusiasm. I'd suggest that any new, adult student not settle for less.
