My degree is in electrical engineering. I worked for Martin Marietta Aerospace on the Space Shuttle program and for the US government. Then, I tired of engineering and began teaching science and math to junior high and high school students. I loved that job but brain problems got in the way and after 12 brain surgeries had to quit teaching because my short term memory got blown out. But, all along, I was still playing my clarinet in the church orchestra. That was a long-term memory thing. Then one day, I mentioned to my husband that it seemed like the clarinets were always being given oboe parts. So, in a quick reply, he said "Why don't you learn to play the oboe?" He bought one for me and the rest is history. I've been taking lessons for just about a year now. Not doing too too bad, just a little trouble staying in tune as the embrouchures for clarinet and oboe are very different and after 40 years of clarinet playing, my lips are being slow to learn the new one.
