Re: Jazz clarinet instruction ideas

Good advice here already, so I won't add much to what has been written, other than to emphasize the importance of finding a regular trad/NOLA jazz jam session (the music doesn't happen for anyone outside of community--as Bob puts it, NOLA jazz is NOT a lone wolf, do-it-yourself occupation). My one word of caution about teachers is to make sure they understand and respect your goal. Many jazz teachers begin their pedagogy with bop, and aren't really capable of teaching NOLA styles. So I'd just be clear from the outset as to what you're looking for.

Good luck and keep swinging!

Eric
