You know, I have very little knowledge of klezmer other than having a couple of CDs and going out with Abe Galper to hear some klezmer live. What I think would be fun is if a few of you could get together, write a glossary up for me, <b>and</b> record some basic sounds that belong with the glossary (anything in the public domain or that you've made up, of course). Sometimes explanations can only go so far!

Greetings, Mark. I read this quite a while back, and agree with your idea. Some of the ornamentation in klezmer clarinetting is a little hard to try to explain, especially to some beginning klezmer clarinet. I've both read about, and listened to klezmer ornamentaion a bit. I have learned far more by listening, and playing, trying to imitate what I have heard. Like learning to pronounce words in a foreign language, it is best to actually hear the sounds you are trying to reproduce. I am very much interested in helping out with this project of klezmer glossary of terms and sounds. To be honest, it may well be a while before I have to time to devote. My studies have taken priority over a lot of things, and at present, haven't any room for more projects. This next summer, though, looks to be a good possibility. I hope to be able to help, then. -- Nate Zeien

a I/2 LESSON WITH A PRO WILL PROBABLY BE ALL YOU NEED TO STARTED.THE REST IS ALL PRACTICE. IF NO ONE IS AVAILABLE LOCALLY, I URGE YOU TO TAKE A WORKSHOP AT KLEZKAMP OR KLEZCANADA. IT IS WELL WORTH THE INVESTENT- BEST OF LUCK.- LMS
