Greetings,
I would like to begin playing the clarinet. I have been sifting through many old messages on this board for advice, and have learned much. So, first, let me thank the old-timers for all of their help and advice.
I studied piano, violin and trumpet in grade school and middle school, but each for only two years or so. I have not played an instrument since then. I have always enjoyed the sound of the clarinet, and would like to take up an instrument once again.
I need advice on the wisdom of such a choice. Is the clarinet an appropriate instrument given my age (34) and skill (absolute beginner)? I am also seeking advice on purchasing an instrument, as well as related equipment, books and manuals, etc. Last, I need advice on learning the instrument. I work in Boston, and so expect that many tutors, musicians or students are available to provide lessons. What is the best approach?
As I said, I am warmly grateful for all of the information so generously provided on this board. Thank you in advance for your help.
