Preface: I am not a clarinet player, nor have I ever been a clarinet player.
My 12yr old son has been taking lessons from the same teacher for approximately 2.5 years. He is above average, but by no means a prodigy compared to his peers. (For reference he performed Boccherini's Minuet for solo & ensemble this year) His private teacher is a saxophone specialist at a local university, but provides lessons on flute, clarinet, bassoon, oboe, and saxophone at our local brick music store. My question is when is it proper to spend the extra money and drive the extra distance to have him receive lessons from a clarinet specialist? I am not interested in pushing him ahead or being "that" parent, but I also want to provide him every opportunity that he reasonably needs. Thank you for your feedback.
