Without further ado β¦ the world debut of my first ever solo clarinet EP, βMaking the Thingβ.
Let me know what you think?
joyhopefully.bandcamp.com/album/making...
New mantra:
Creating tangible things with intention which do not benefit the fucking algorithm.
I went and played some tunes on my clarinet at The Littlest Bakeshop open mic in KCMO tonight and omgosh did I need that so bad. π₯°π₯°π₯°

Learning that instrument was one of the best things Iβve ever done for myself.
Now I play with a couple different community bands, including the Mid America Freedom Band, which is an LGBT+Allies band here in KC.
Happy birthday π

Most local music stores will rent you an instrument.
Thatβs how I got my first clarinet when I started teaching myself about 5 years ago.
It was $30 a month I could have taken it back at any time. The rental fee covered routine maintained.
And after I think 3 years it became my clarinet. π₯°π₯°π₯°

Fellow musicians: do you enjoy watching true first reads, or do you prefer hearing something after itβs lived a little?
This piece is from TomPlay β Iβm sight reading it with their accompaniment track. Affiliate link in bio if you want to check it out.
Actually β¦ just read your reply below about it controlling a light in addition to the outlet β¦ thatβs getting more tricky.

You just need to bypass the switch.
Not impossible if youβre handy.
Pretty sure that is exactly what they want to happen

When I was first learning clarinet as an adult, practicing alone was the hardest part.
TomPlay gave me level-appropriate music with real accompaniment, and itβs one of the reasons I stuck with it.
Thereβs a two-week free trial if youβre curious. (affiliate link in bio)
Iβve been waiting for perfect conditions instead of letting my clarinet music exist.
Iβm done waiting.
Iβm choosing motion over perfection

Almost a year ago I made the insane choice to announce my intention of becoming a professional clarinetist after having mostly taught myself in my 40s.
Shortly after that my life more or less fell apart.
But the dream lives on. I have no idea what it looks like anymore. But it is still there.
May I introduce my friend Micheal?

I know people that play each of those!
I pretty much just play Bb clarinet β¦ some day maybe Iβll be able to afford a bass clarinet. π₯°

Why I Started Playing Clarinet in My 40s

I play with the Mid America Freedom Band, an LGBTQ concert band here in KC. Friday was our season finale and we premiered this timpani concerto which we commissioned to celebrate our new timpani.
