I got my first clarinet 64 years ago, at age 10, an Albert system which I played until I was a senior in high school. I still have it, together with about 15 others, ranging from 5-keys to 21-keys. I am largely self-taught, except for public school orchestra and band directors, but with their help became sufficiently skilled to become a weekend professional at 16, and have maintained that status ever since, with dance bands, circuses, ice shows, many other types of travelling shows, the local symphony orchestra, much jazz--without letting it demolish a law practice which has flourished for over 50 years. I also play sax, some flute, euphonium, and dabble on trumpet and piano. Don't ever give up. I'm new to this chatroom and am learning a lot from you.
