Hi Kanako - These people on this Bulletin Board are very friendly and helpful and I'm sure you will have a great response to your greeting. Your English is quite good and I'm sure will expand rapidly with back and forth "conversations". We scarecely know any words in Japanese, so you are much ahead of us. Your choice of clarinetist and I'm sure his music to is the best. What do you wish to discuss ?? Don

Good to hear from you, Kanako. Welcome aboard.
If you want to discuss the clarinet with the people of the world, this is certainly the place to do it, and your English sounds pretty good to me.
Just think, on the Sneezy Bulletin Board you'll be able to discuss the clarinet and practice you English at the same time!! Two for the price of one.
As Don Berger said, what would you like to discuss this time around?

I, too, am happy to meet you, Kanako.
This is a good place to meet and talk about clarinets and sometimes other topics too. You will find a lot of friendly people here.
Your English is very good - you'll have no problem 
Would you like to share with us a little about yourself?
For example:
What are you studying now?
Do you play the clarinet now? For how long?
Are you in a band or an orchestra?

Kanako, welcome to the "family." Just remember, like brothers and sisters sometime we argue with each other, but we make up and all is well in the end. Me? I'm 76 and still learning.

Thank you,ron-b (*-^)
Though too late, introduce myself.
I have played the trumpet for three years in elementary school,and played
the bass clarinet for two years in high school,and now I play the B clarinet .
To tell the truth,I want to play the bass clarinet,and enter the music college .
But, in Japan, there is no teacher and no class for bass clarinet.
Don't you think it is very strange??
So I have begun to practice nomal clarinet since May.
Now that I love both B clarinet and bass clarinet.
I want to enter the music college by clarinet.
I respect to Guns Jean who solo bass clarinetist,do you know?
I hope that being made bass clarinet cource in Japan.

Likewise, Kanako 
Thank you, too, for sharing with us about yourself. It is interesting that you play many different instruments. Do you continue to play trumpet? Many people who write to Sneezy's bulletin board also play brass instruments. Many people who visit here also love bass clarinet. I find it interesting that you have chosen instruments which are all pitched in B (Bb). I'm sure you'll find many friends here who share your interests.
Possibly the clarinet teachers you know feel that if you learn fingerings for one clarinet the other clarinets are the same fingerings and you do not need to know more. I do not think it strange that there are no bass clarinet teachers where you live because in North America bass clarinets are often considered secondary instruments. So, bass clarinet players are often 'self taught'. I don't know whether a person could enter a music college in the U.S. with bass clarinet as their main instrument. Others will answer that better than I.
It is nice corresponding with you, Kanako, and I wish you all the best in your musical persuits. Which music college do you wish to enter? I'm sure many Sneezy visitors would like to know about music schools in Japan. What are the requirements for entry into a Japanese music college?
