Re: Is this an acceptable teaching method?

I didn't take up piano or classical guitar until well into adulthood, but I enjoyed both very much. I learned clarinet from the 4th grade, and sax from high school. Quite honestly, I don't see that one instrument was significantly harder to learn than the others. Of course, as an adult, life has a way of cutting into the timew I have available to play any instrument, even clarinet. Still, if I want to, I try to make the time.

Even so, the whole suggestion of taking up tennis and dropping clarinet was out of line, and not helpful at all to a student who wants to make progress. I really have to congratulate Dileep Gangolli for posting one of the most ridiculous statements I have read on the board in several years!
