Filled with a desire to be the best and critique anyone who so much as looks at a clarinet the wrong way.
Patient. Clarinetists are tolerant of squeaks, beginners, and tuning issues. We've all been there.
Argumentative. One must be prepared to discuss the superiority of Buffet v Leblanc, Vandoren v Rico, and Chadash v Moenig. There will never be a general consensus.
Creative. Everyone can't play Mozart's K. 622 the way they hear it in recordings. You have to be willing to take a chance with your own ideas.
Determined. You're not the worst, and you're not the best. Keep practicing until you're happy with where you are.
Versatile. Classical, jazz, klezmer - sticking to one genre is boring.
And lastly, confident. We've all heard it before, but if you mess up, people should hear your mistake and wonder if it was really wrong because you looked so sure of yourself. Afterwards, you can go backstage and regret it for the rest of your life.
