Hello everyone,
I would like to ask if there's anyone like me who stopped playing the clarinet for years and then want to take lessons again.
I used to play the clarinet when I was a kid, and stopped for almost 5 years. Two years ago, I picked up my clarinet again and had some lessons with a teacher. However, the lesson seems a little bit without goals and randomly. For example, my teacher sometimes asks me what she can do for me at the beginning of the course. Sometimes I have questions, but sometimes I don't. Then she randomly picked up some etudes (from Baermann) or relative easy duets. I did improve during the few months of lesson, but it all seems really randomly. Since I have mostly learned all the basics of clarinet, I am not sure if it is normal to feel like this.
The reason I want to go back to lessons is that I think there's absolutely something I can still learn, e.g. better staccato, better tone quality. I want to also learn some solo pieces, but it hard to know which level of the piece fits me.
I hope to get some advices from others. Thank you!
