I don't play clarinet...but I tell stories and this one is encouraging
I often refer to the Contemporaray Music TAFE college where my husband works. This is it's 5th year in existence. A lot of students apply and they have to audition to win a place.
Evette has applied several times and not been successful, but this year she was. She is a clarinette player, very very good, she can pick up a tune instantly and jam with anyone.
She was born blind and almost mute...music is her communication. I don't go to the campus much, but called in for lunch last week and sat with Evette. I has no idea how severely disabled she is. It was rather humbling and just goes to show what determination can achieve.
Go for it Ravenstar and AM....a very soulful instrument.
