Hello everyone. I've been a long time visitor to this board, but this is the first time I actually posted.
I have played the clarinet ever since fourth grade and now I am a graduating high school senior. Though I technically have played the clarinet for 8-9 years, I have never taken a lesson in my life. My parents could never afford, nor believed I needed them. In essence, everything I know about the clarinet has been garnered from the various performances I've done.
Now, I own a plastic Vito (my first clarinet) and a Leblanc Galaxy (which happens to have its own topic here on the board), but I wanted to purchase a professional clarinet to last me for the coming years. While I don't plan on majoring in music, I would like to continue playing, both in college and the rest of my life. My dilemma is whether or not to spend money on a new clarinet, seek lessons in college, or both.
So, should I upgrade my instrument or upgrade my skills?
