Earlier this morning I was playing my clarinet again. Since moving up here I've started playing it again after a break of several years. It's good - as I get to play all my old music and satisfy my "music craving" (...??...). The pretty significant downside is that while I have pretty good musicianship and technical (fingering speed), my embaucher (sp?) and tonguing and playing endurance are shocking. The only way to get better is just lots of patient practice - a long and boring road of tone excercises/scales with various articulations/etc. I much prefer the good stuff - playing the music... We'll see how it goes.
