Like Robert was referring to, I'm in Texas.
Even though I can't continue to compete with his piece of music, I'm trying to interpret it in new ways each day. I want to keep growing as a musician and continue improving. Seeing as next year is my last year before college, I want to make it as far as I can during TMEA All-Region/Area/State and also make it to UIL State Solo and Ensemble. Over this next summer, I want to continue improving technically and get up to Level 5 according to David Hite's A Clarinetist's Study Guide. (I know people who can play Adagio and Tarantella and get a division 1, but don't know what an arpeggio is. Is this a flaw with the music education system? My short time in music has had a huge emphasis on theory and technique, so this seems strange to me.)
Anyway, what should my next steps toward attempted "clarinet greatness?" Over the next few months, I'm going to try to get through all of my major and minor scales and arpeggios, work through Rose etudes 26, 6, 11, and 19. I'll pick the best 2 for auditions. Additionally, I have to play through the first movement of the Mozart concerto for nearly all of my college auditions. What I'm looking for most is a direction.
Basically, I'm trying to make up the 3 years that I'm behind in music (compared to my peers) in 6 months. Is this possible?
Just an aspiring student.
