Hi folk, your indulgence please for this little survey (Mark, I hope this is ok?).
Nothing evil here, I'm just trying to get a broad picture of some quirks of my clarinet playing colleagues around the world and map some demographics.
Question 1) - do you play scales and etudes daily?
YES/DON'T KNOW/NO
Question 2) - do you obsess about your setup to the detriment of your practise time?
YES/DON'T KNOW/NO
Question 3) - are you brand driven to the point of never trying an alternative, no matter how attractive?
YES/DON'T KNOW/NO
Question 4) - do you consider fluency at scales and arpeggios has a discernable affect on your overall technique?
YES/DON'T KNOW/NO
Please answer either 5a OR 5b
Question 5a) - if you encounter a difficult passage in a piece, do you start slowly and build the speed up incrementally (avoiding learned mistakes)?
YES/DON'T KNOW/NO
Question 5b) - if you encounter a difficult passage in a piece, do you jump in the deep end (for the thrill of seeing you don't crash) and then work through your mistakes
YES/DON'T KNOW/NO
Question 6) - is your clarinet playing:
a) for pleasure only
b) a semi-hobby/profession
c) a profession
Question 7) - do you take your clarinet on vacation with you?
YES/NO
Question 8) - where do you live (generally speaking)

thanks - diz
Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.
