COULD NOT RESIST ANY LONGER:

How long have you been playing clarinet?
Since 5/13/14 - 8/26/14

Are you taking private lessons or are you learning on your

own?
Some of both. Started with 16 private lessons to get

going then all on my own.

How often do you practice? How long are your practice

sessions?
Try to do 30-60 minutes a day but life often gets in the

way.

What method book are you using? Do you like it? Hate it?

Why?
None, unfortunately. Have one called Bruce Pearson

Book 1 - Bb Clarinet STANDARD OF EXCELLLENCE

Comprehensive Band Method I got while taking lessons to

fill in the gaps. Seems acceptable.

What's your current "setup" (clarinet, mouthpiece, reeds,

other)?
Buffet Germany E-11 Bb clarinet, OEM mouthpiece,

Vandoren M13 Lyre MP, KASPAR MP, Rico & Steuer reeds

2, 2.5, 3 strength, Korg Chromatic Tuner, various kinds of

cork grease, 3 cloths on cords.

Do you have a musical goal?
Only to play and enjoy it. No professional or band

affiliations or desires.

What is your greatest joy in learning clarinet?
Only to finally DO it and be successful enough for my

own needs and desires.

What is your biggest challenge right now?
Just starting to get into scales.

What has surprised you the most?
That I could learn to do it at all.

What else is on your mind?
That is about it. Except desire to keep improving.
