I'm a Texan and all through public school and college, band directors have taught against the Eb clarinet. I fell in love with it when I was 14 and bought 1 when I was 28 and still in college. My female clarinet professor even had this hate for this instrument and she's.a clarinet professor! She said it ruins the embouchure. I wasn't allowed to play Eb clarinet in college and got put on bass.
I don't agree with the mentality of public school and college band directors because they view this instrument as a necessary evil. I even got put out of the community band for 6 years of playing because they said I played it too loudly. I'd professed my love for the Eb to the director b4 I played with them.
Then when 1 does play the Eb, you're the envy of the clarinet section because every 1 wants to secretly play it because they know that you're a great player to be in it.
Any of you public or college level band directors that can give me many insights to why there is this love/hate relationship of the Eb clarinet?
