Re: Why did you choose to play Clarinet?

Author: gwie  Date:   2018-12-23 10:04 At my school, elementary ran from K-6. As I moved up into grade 6, I had been concertmaster (violin) of the school orchestra since grade 3 due to ongoing private lessons and regular daily practice since I was six years old. To give other kids a chance, the director offered me the chance to learn another instrument, so I became a beginner on the one instrument available, a Yamaha clarinet. It helped that my director was a clarinet player as well, and he was a wonderful teacher who I still have many fond memories of. It was supposed to be a temporary thing, but then my family moved to a school district with no orchestra program...so clarinet was my ensemble outlet. I did get two years of lessons in high school with another wonderful teacher who encouraged me to keep playing. One thing led to another, and at the end of my university education, I found myself playing a master's recital on...clarinet. While I don't get to play as much these days, spending the majority of my time playing string quartets or conducting, I still enjoy it immensely, and love working with clarinet students.
