hey everyone, i'm a 13 year old clarinetist, and i've been playing since i was 9. i absolutely LOVE it, and want to be a concert clarinetist/woodwind-ist (ya know what i mean) when i'm older. anyway, I'd like some suggestions from anyone who's been there on audition techniques (i've got a few coming up, including a very important one for a prep program at the manhattan
school of music), and any good level 5 or 6 (for anyone in NY, that's the NYSSMA level i'm talking about) solos that are really impressive. i'm working on mozart's clarinet quintet right now, as well as a couple of other pieces. also, this summer i want to try a few different instruments, and it's my goal to be able to play the flute, alto and tenor saxes, and the french horn/trumpet by the time i get out of high school. i'm starting on the flute, but does anyone know if there are
any instruments that i really should know how to play in order to get into a good music school? i also play the guitar, and sing a little bit, although i'm not a very talented singer, and am an ok actress and songwriter. if i get into the manhattan school of music program, i will take composing/conducting lessons. i have a buffet clarinet that my grandfather gave to me as a bat mitzvah present. i'm not sure what kind it is, but it's about 60 years old, and it's a great clarinet. i usually use vandoran 2 1/2 reeds, but i also like rico royal 3's. email me at sunrising667@aol.com for any suggestions, answers, encouragement, etc. i don't know anyone (besides my teacher) who is a professional clarinetist, and have only a couple friends who are into their instruments the way i am, and it would be nice to talk!
