Does anyone here play a woodwind instrument?

I've played clarinet for the past several years, but I've been let down by a series of teachers so I haven't had lessons steadily in quite a while. I'm still pretty good, and I paly in an orchestra so I'm in practice, but I need to work on my higher register (Above maybe high

and my tone.

So... any help? Or ideas for sites that give woodwind/reed instrument help?

I play in a few orchestras, and so know alot of woodwind players, but I'm not one so that's not so helpful. You really do need regular lessons though to improve in any instrument, so maybe look for a good teacher again, and start getting them. And good luck with that... (I'm not much help I know)

Put down the clarinet, pick up the guitar.

Phh. In an orchestra situation, guitars lose thoroughly.

By any chance was that the perfomance of the Leaving Cert pieces? was at that myself and thought it was excellent.

EVery intention, at some stage.

*ears cry blood*

i bloody hated it. Musicians were brill on it tho. THe Tchaikovsky was excellent

I like it as a piece, but it's possibly the most entertaining thing to ever see played live. Most overworked musicians ever!

If someone asked me to play that piece, I'd probably cry.

"Oh sure, as if 4 ledger lines above the staff isn't enough, let's PUT IT UP AN OCTAVE."

Cry, or perhaps attempt it and die. Y'know, one or the other.

So many musicians have fallen attempting that piece. /me salutes.
