 How to practise very frequently without damaging clarinet
Author: SunnyDaze

Hi,

I just got a book about Kalmen Opperman for my Christmas, and in it he says (or perhaps jokes) that we should play a chromatic scale before we do anything else in the morning.

I really like that approach to practise - just being able to pick up the instrument and play a little bit many times a day. That would fit really well with the way my days work. However, I tried it once, and I found that the amount of time that I spent putting the instrument together, drying it, and taking it apart, meant that lots of little playing sessions didn't really work.

I also tried just leaving the instrument together and not drying it, but then it cracked.

I wondered if anyone had found a solution to that? I kind of wonder if I should do my lots of little practises on a plastic one, and save my wooden clarinet for longer (half hour or more) practise sessions? I really struggle to get time for a full half hour practise every day.

Thanks!
