Re: Why did you choose to play Clarinet?

The school I went to required EVERYONE to start playing a musical instrument starting in 5th grade. (The school furnished all instruments).

We all had to choose 3 instruments to learn in the 5th grade from the 4 families: woodwind, strings, percussion, and brass. You then had to choose to one of the 3 to continue playing in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, after which time music became an elective.

I chose viola, clarinet, and trumpet. I sucked at the trumpet. Never could get the embouchure. I sucked at viola too. No much variance in sound with the slightest movement of your fingers. I clicked with clarinet and love it. Played soprano, alto, and bass. Learned to play oboe as well. After many years absent from music, I returned to playing bass a few years ago and am having a ball. Music never leaves you.
