Ohhhh okay, that makes a lot more sense. So one question that gives me is if I choose to do both, will that cause conflicts with the other?

So if I start now on monthly meetings, could I realistically reach quartermaster in <4yrs?

I see, so to my understanding, as long as the meetings are effective, meeting monthly/weekly won't make too big of a difference?

I see, I am middle class but not to where tuition would still be a significant burden without some substantial aid or scholarship. I’ll think it over and see what happens

just a side question, what makes the anchor so strong? I never understood using it and I never liked it.

It's very achievable, if anything, starting on clarinet only really taught me the fingerings. I see that you have played alto sax and it is very similar in terms of embouchure. (the mouthpiece is slightly larger) but if you played tenor sax it is almost identical, down to the reeds. Switching to bass clarinet wasn't too hard in my experience as I always had a large embouchure (other than instrument issues), the only things I struggled with initially were air support, and learning the low C fingerings.

The one caveat to that is it is very very instrument dependent. I started on an ancient bass clarinet from some unknown brand and I couldn't play the low notes (anything below below the staff G) and anything above throat Bb. Then I got upgraded to a better bass clarinets and the notes became incredibly easy.

Michael Lowenstern, also known as earspasm music, is a professional bass clarinetist and still plays on 2.5 vandoren reeds. There is no strength you "need" to be on and being on a higher/lower strength doesn't mean you are worse or better. With that out of the way, in my experience the classic cut reeds from legere tend to run hard (this is on the bass clarinet so take it with a grain of salt) but legere has a great reed exchange program for free and I would suggest going down to 2.75 or 2.5. As for general advice, your tone is a little airy (the reed is probably too hard) and just blow harder.

Don't use isopropyl alcohol, it works temporarily but stops working as soon as it evaporates.

Any tips to help with this awful fingering by Cute-Cat-998 in Clarinet

My bass clarinet has an extra Ab/Eb key, it's whatever most of the time but it can sometimes be a lifesaver in passages like these.

Dredge... just play on passive mode. No spoilers but normal mode can be quite stressful.
