1. How old are you(were you, or is the other person)?
i'm 14, almost 15 (a month and a half!)
2. How long have you played?
almost five years, i think...wow. i've played the guitar for almost 8, too
3. How much do you practice?
on an average, 45 minutes a day, more on weekends...and i have band rehearsal every day, too...does that count?
4. What music are you working on?
telemann's sonata in c minor, arabesques (jeanjean), mozart clarinet concerto...and anything else i can get my hands on, esp. jazz. i love my book of benny goodman transcriptions! also, a lot of orchestral music, my most recent favorite was the 1st clarinet part to beethoven's fourth...that was fun!
5. What do like or dislike about the music you play?
i don't like baroque music (ex. the telemann) because it's so repetative, and (in my opinion) boring. the jeanjean and mozart are so pretty. bg rocks, without any further explanation needed...
6. Do you enjoy practicing and if so, do you do anything that helps you to make your practice sessions more enjoyable?
i enjoy practicing, but i like playing a variety of music (i get bored easily). i don't play everything i'm working on in one session, because then i'd have to spend like ten minutes on each piece...but i will practice more if i'm playing something i like, and have more fun
7. What are your musical aspirations?
in the realm of...unreality...to become a famous jazz clarinetist and be the next benny goodman, only female :-)
but i'm really not THAT good at jazz...although you never know!
anyway, i'd like to be a band director and inspire a lot of people like my middle school band director did...or play in a lot of small groups, like my uncle (a bassist) does...ya know, do parties and stuff.
hey, it looks fun....
