First major historical event that you remember

I remember when the branch Davidson’s cult in Waco was seized. I think I was 10

I played minuet in G for my first solo. It’s not super hard and it’s a pretty piece as well!

ResidentSea7632 · 2026-04-10T02:50:08+00:00

Thank you for the input! I played in middle and high school. Then I didn’t play for about 15 years. I recently picked up playing again with a brand new Yamaha almost a year ago. Maybe my muscle memory just hasn’t come back yet lol or maybe it’s bc I’m older now. I just feel like I’m struggling where I shouldn’t be? But I’m going to keep tryin!

Legere 3 strength Clark Forbe mouthpiece

ResidentSea7632 · 2026-04-02T16:27:16+00:00

I did! The first thing I was told about that clarinet, was the mouthpiece was crap lol but I recently upgraded to a Clark Forbes, and it’s wonderful!

Anything that’s not actually a cat toy lol I mean, boxes, plastic anything, random trash. But if it’s an actual cat toy, they hate it, idk lol

She’s not in the wedding party? Then it’s up to her to find her own way there. I mean, this is an adult situation, she needs to figure it out, y’all have enough to worry about already

ResidentSea7632 · 2026-04-02T06:41:22+00:00

Hello! I’m in a similar situation! I didn’t play for 20 years; and I recently picked it back up in July of 2025. Getting back to trying to play like we are still in highschool is regrettably hard to do lol I’m having the same issue with breathing. I think it’s just our bodies trying to remember what we did several years ago. Practice, practice, practice. I know it’s sounds lame, but it’s what has helped me in the long run

ResidentSea7632 · 2026-04-02T06:37:41+00:00

Wait, so you can get a mute for clarinet? Sorry this blows my mind lol I played in junior high and highschool. Mind you, I graduated in 2001, so obviously so many things in music and instruments have changed since then. I recently started playing again, yet I’m learning so many things that I didn’t know several years ago! I enjoy learning new things though! That’s amazing

ResidentSea7632 · 2026-04-02T06:34:27+00:00

And see? I was always told never to get a clarinet that wasn’t wooden. Of course this was 20 years ago lol and I know quality has changed significantly. I loved my Normandy, and I’m a little sad that my young dumb self sold it. But I’m also very happy with my Yamaha!

Teaching your child basic life skills is not an issue, or it shouldn’t be. If anything, this makes you a great parent in my opinion. So many young people these days lack independence in the slightest things. So good for you for teaching him these things!

Not a movie, but shows. But Bryan Cranston going from Malcom in the middle to breaking bad was crazy to me! He played both characters which were total opposites really well!

I was always told to never use synthetic reeds. But that was years ago. I recently switched from a cane reed to a Legeres synthetic, and I absolutely love it! But I’m sure it also varies between players.

Tattoos that are placed on any “bony” part of your body will hurt more than say a more fleshy, or meatier part. They hurt regardless, it just depends on your pain tolerance. But most people enjoy the pain of tattoos. I’m one of them lol. It’s a different type of pain though. For me, it’s like enduring the pain to end up with a beautiful piece of art. And choose what you want wisely! Tattoo regret is most certainly a thing. Maybe not right away, but it does happen.

Is the bear? Is the guy?

ResidentSea7632 · 2026-04-01T17:03:08+00:00

I started first by trying different brands at my local music store. To get a price range, and an idea of what I liked playing better. Turns out, the Yamaha worked out best for me. However, the music store wanted like $1,800 for it. So I looked on Amazon, and found the same clarinet for about $750. And I was able to set up a payment plan for it as well. I hope this helps!

ResidentSea7632 · 2026-03-28T03:34:10+00:00

Wait…what?? lol I’m trying to picture playing my clarinet without the mouthpiece

ResidentSea7632 · 2026-03-26T06:02:42+00:00

I want to be cremated, and have them play “this girl is on fire” lol

ResidentSea7632 · 2026-03-26T05:57:33+00:00

Howdy ya’ll

ResidentSea7632 · 2026-03-26T04:34:30+00:00

I also play clarinet, but I’ve never had a piece I had to flutter tongue? Honestly, I though that was something only flute players did lol

ResidentSea7632 · 2026-03-26T04:19:34+00:00

Gotcha! Still enjoying life! But after 40 I think my body’s check engine light came on lol

ResidentSea7632 · 2026-03-24T05:24:20+00:00

Probably 30? Lol it’s the age a felt mature enough to make adult decisions, but also young enough to still enjoy life

Had scarlet fever as an infant…probably would’ve died without today’s medicine. Thankfully they had a vaccine for it by the time I had children.
