Hi there, everyone. I'm a 15-year-old student clarinet player. I had(and have) always wanted to play the clarinet since I was 9, but everyone else treated my requests as light jokes. So I ended up starting at age 12, but I was not sufficient of time and resources until I was 13, when I started to put more and more resources and effort on clarinet playing, and soon I got my bass clarinet very soon. I leapfrogged from beginner to semi-intermediate, and passed ABRSM Grade 5 at a point of 111.
Besides of starting late, I was also born with fine motor skills defficiencies, and also attention deficit disorder and panic disorder. Moreover, my schoolwork has drastically increased this year, and this clashes with the required frequent training time I need.
So I probably seem to be the wrong applicant for the job, but I have a huge passion for music, especially Romantic compositions such as Mahler, Bruckner and and Wagner, as well as Klezmer and other Eastern European genres. I had always strived to to find the sound I wish to have, and spending more and more time trying to improve my techniques. I sincerely wish that you respected professionals here can suggest some solution for my case, so I still at least have the smallest spark of hope on embarking the road to the career of a music performer. THANK YOU.
Josh
