There is a question that I can answer: Is it necessary to have a
(clarinet) teacher?
Now I ask this question to myself.
I had my first teacher in my 3rd year of senior high school because I
would like to be a better player. I did not wnat to waste my time on the
"wrong road".
I had no teacher when I was in the "Demonstration Band" during my
military service because I disliked the way we played music in that band
and I hated the music and sound that I made.
I have a teacher now.
OK, so you know what I have and what I had.
If the following is true:
I play clarinet simply for fun and I just want to feel happy. Life
and work is difficult enough, I don't want to put more burden on myself.
then I won't need a teacher.
If the following is true:
I play clarinet because I want to say something, I want to sing.
I love the way I play when I know what I want to sing and how to sing it.
However, from time to time I feel lost or cannot satisfy
myself while playing clarinet.
then I need a teacher.
Definitely I am type 2.
There are so many types of personality, people can be type 3, 4, 5, ....
So, I cannot answer the question that I claimed I am able to answer.
I only have the answer for myself.
