SecondTry,

Sorry to see you leave the conversation, but thanks for the input you offered.

The point of the question was not one of philosophy, but to see if there is an agreed-upon basic set of skills which applies to all clarinet training - regardless of genre. Judging by the resulting dialog, I'd guess the answer is probably "no."

In sports, athletes have a large overlap in training...to a point. However, the training for football is quite different than the training for track. The training for tennis is different than the training for wrestling. It needs to be because the body is being asked to do totally different things depending on the sport.

I believe the same to be true when speaking of clarinet training.

However, what I don't see (and didn't experience) - something which is available in sports and other instruments - was the chance to train for anything else - except classical music - all the way through my college education.

Thus the question - where is that line between "basic skill set" and "genre specific skill set?"

Can there be even a rough consensus on where "basic skill set" ends and "genre specific skill set" begins?

Please listen to the above links. I think there is an obvious common skill set. My opinion is that the line between "basic common skill set" and "genre specific skill set" might occur much earlier in training than we usually recognize.
