Today I practiced my clarinet in a different location. I brought it to my boyfriend, Eben’s apartment since I am spending all day here with him. It’s awesome being able to travel so easily with my instrument! It has that cool silver case; It looks like I could be carrying one million dollars in unmarked bills.
The clarinet is not my first self taught instrument. I also play the piano. I’ve been playing for about 2 years. I have been working on the guitar for about a year now but I still need a lot more work on this instrument before I can go public. And although the guitar may be “portable” it is not easy to haul around. It’s like trying to carry around a small child that stays stiff as a board. Other instruments I tinker with are the harmonica, the auto harp and kazoo.
During my practice today I sounded very airy! I also squeaked a lot. I thought it may have been because of poor reed placement, but I suppose I simply need to work on my technique. I tried out some new notes using the right hand (I don’t know which notes they are because it was a spontaneous decision and I played them on a whim. )
I would like to take this time to give public apologies to Eben’s neighbors. I’m sorry you had to suffer through this.
