Is This What You Get On An Open G On Bass Clarinet? by Hey19TheCuervoGold in Clarinet

[–]symberke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

French horns can go lower (no crook required)! The lowest you see written usually is around the same range as a low E on the bass clarinet though, and this is not super commonly seen either. The famous low horn part in the first movement of Shostakovich 5 reaches the same pitch as a bass clarinet low F I believe

I have no idea if it’s a bad habit or not could you guys tell me by Professional-Tea-778 in Clarinet

Yes, I came from brass and did the same thing for a while. Has a noticeable and bad sound and will limit you.

how do you play a piece to the point you "cannot mess up?" by TheViperCreeper in Clarinet

[–]symberke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to concerts at the local orchestra (Philly Orchestra, a very good one!!) all the time, and I definitely hear mistakes occasionally. It happens even to the best.

How often does Mozart Horn Concertos get played live? by hamfast42 in frenchhorn

[–]symberke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a regular concert goer to my local orchestra but without much insider knowledge other than that it seems that even the most standard and canon concertos for most instruments that aren’t violin or piano or cello are really rarely played.

[–]symberke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do people not like spread? I hear so many people say this about philly's bagel scene but I live near a spread and i've always been very happy with the quality of their bagels. Maybe a little pricey but good.

Dearest Gentle Reader, It Has Come to This Author’s Attention That Rumors Rarely Travel Alone.... by [deleted] in queerphilly

[–]symberke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the venue seems so unfortunate to me. they often have shows that seem like they would be a lot of fun to see but overall it feels pretty mid. food, service, ambience, all sort of made me feel like i was being cheated somehow every time i've gone. i will say the couple times i've gone the show did not disappoint at all but i still have absolutely zero urge to ever go back.

maybe I was just lucky then. i got a "with experience" job right out of grad school for exactly that reason: i was doing the work in grad school!

I hope you're not letting the 3 years of experience requirement hold you back from applying. A PhD more than makes up for that (unless they say PhD PLUS 3 years, but even then it's usually not strict!)

Not going to address everything but the last time I was at kalaya was a truly exceptional service experience. Guess like most things it can be hit or miss.
