Re: Lessons in the Summer

Thanks for the suggestions, Ken! A flautist friend and I were thinking about busking this summer, but I hadn't thought of retirement homes. I'll definitely look into that. Also, I should practice transposing more as well. I can do it, and I own an A clarinet, but I'm not nearly as proficient in trickier keys as I'd like to be. And of course I'm bashing through Baermann III. Also, I already play bass clarinet (in the Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra), and I've been trying for more than a year to find an available Eb in this little city, but to no avail.

Yes, I will have ensemble placement in September. It's a very small clarinet studio in a small university. I've known the teacher for a few years, and I'm pretty much guaranteed a spot in the band open to all students, and for the Wind Ensemble I'm really only in comptetion with one other student.

And Jeff, "new" means whatever is the best I can afford, whether it be new or old. My teacher next year is a close friend of John Weir of Taplin-Weir, and I will likely be buying through them. As well as their own instruments, they now sell new and used Buffets.

Thanks everyone; I've basically given up with regards to my parents now.
