Well, here's to the new year. I don't have a resolution or anything of that sort, because it'll only last for about a month and then i'll forget about it. i remember one year i told myself that i would try to eat less sugar seeing as i was a sugar fiend when i was 7. the very next day i probably drank a whole 2 liter bottle of coke.
my goal for the new year is to survive through the rest of college (who knows if i'll just suddenly die someday) and to really work hard to stay in school. my clarinet professor warned me many times that i was on the brink of being kicked out of the music school. which reminds me that i can't really play clarinet. i can play the hell out of bass clarinet, but not Bb. it makes me a little weary knowing that later on in college i might have to buy an A clarinet.
i just really want to play the bass clarinet. i thought of a plan to go about playing bass clarinet for my whole life. finish the 4 years of a music ed degree and then go on to grad school for a performance degree in bass clarinet (goal school: Rotterdam Conservatory to study under Henri Bok; next best thing: Crane School of Music)
it's just a thought. i mean... how many jobs are there for bass clarinet? not many, i can assume. and either way, a professional clarinetist can most likely play the bass part just as easily as a bass clarinetist.
If all else fails, I can be a general music teacher or a high school band director. Not too bad, eh?
