God, the shame, despair and loathing that returns to me as I think of sitting on a piano bench, "practicing" scales that were supposed to help my fingering. But there weren't nothing could be done for my ear.... I also played the clarinet in elementary school and the bassoon in high school, if sitting miserably in the midst of a bunch of pimply children and hoping that I'd manage to hit the same note as everyone else at least 25% of the time counts as <I>playing</I>.<BR/><BR/>The world would have been a better place if my mother had been willing to admit that I simply had no musical talent whatsoever, and let me do other stuff instead.

It's clear that you love listening to music. <BR/>I did find that my listening appreciation was enhanced by my attempting to "make" music.Chanceluckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16829789745697541046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8858435.post-1161709909656211252006-10-24T13:11:00.000-04:002006-10-24T13:11:00.000-04:00I played the clarinet from 4th to 6th grade but I ...I played the clarinet from 4th to 6th grade but I was rubbish at it.
