How is that coming along?

...ehh, it's alright. I've gotten to the point where I can actually play more than 8 measures at a time now! :D but the embouchure is a lot looser than when you play the clarinet, so it's kinda hard.

I can imagine. Our direct said it's similar to trying to hold a small egg between your lips?

i've heard...they don't have clarinets in my jazz band, so i admire(envy) from afar

Yeah we rarely have clarinets in jazz band unless you're freaking awesome at clarinet.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

yeah. last year's jazz band has one clarinet, but our band director decided to take them out altogether because he couldn't hear her at ALL.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Well that's not fair to her. If you get more clarinets then you can hear them. -.-
