My username describes myself well. I’m no musician, but I’m going to give it a shot. Way back in my school days, (56 now) I enjoyed trying to learn to play several different instruments, keyword being trying. I just couldn’t get the hang of any of them. I’m no artist, music, painting, home decor, anything. I’ve always been more scientific, mechanical, and technical. Math is easy. I do any kind of home renovations. I can repair pretty much anything, and I’ve even invented a few little things, but learning to play a clarinet is going to take a miracle, and that’s what I’m hoping for.
I go to church regularly, and I love singing, but if I ever sung a solo, everyone would leave. It’s a very small church and the only instrument is the accordion played by the pastor’s wife. I want to learn to play something, and after much research, decided to go with the clarinet, so I bought one on eBay. Mendini by Cecilio (MCT-E). I will have it in about a week and will then take a few lessons and see if there is any chance of learning how to play it good enough to play the odd song in church. I would like to just learn how to play one of our simple choruses at first, hopefully within a month or two, then go from there.
I will probably have the occasional question once in a while, once I start trying, and will ask my instructor most of the questions, but for now I just have one question.
Can ANYONE learn how to play a clarinet if they really want to, or is there a chance that some people, like myself, just can’t ever be a clarinet player? I’m hoping I can learn to play it, and just play it by sound to songs I know.
