ohsusan, I would hope you're getting the hang of it after nine years. (And I hope I am, too, by that time.) Did you find it easier or hard to take up a different instrument? There would be similarities but fingering differences, and clarinet is a transposed instrument. I don't know if that makes for confusion or not. You probably have the mouth strength it takes for oboe. My continuing problem is that my mouth wears out way too fast. I've started practicing a shorter time, but twice a day, as recommended on the BBoard.

I don't do Facebook. People are already ticked that I don't check my email often enough. I don't need another venue that I have to check every day. I'd be happy to have an email conversation with you, though.
