Really? You don't hear very many people admitting to it.

Did you play for long?

I played 5 years total.

Wow, Demona. You're very pretty.

And learning noob, why did you stop playing?

Long story short I had just moved and am in college, and my clarinet is back at the old house in storage until the house is sold.

NeoHaxxxerz, you remind me of ANTM. In other words, I think you're pretty. :P

How come not many people admit to playing the clarinet? I play it too haha, only for 4 years. Technically, 2 years and then I didn't take music anymore but I still joined the school band.

Not many guys do because it's not looked at as a very manly instrument. Both in highs school and in college, we had 1 guy that played clarinet, and he often got teased for it. I don't think it should matter, but yeah.

Oh, it's also considered an "easy" instrument to play, and is often the first one (or one of the first) a musician learns.

Thank you, Oneone! ^_^'

And yes, Hodizzle, it's an easy instrument to begin with. But to become an instrumentalist to fit the calibur of your passion is never easy. Meaning: No instrument can ever be considered easy, it just depends on your passion for it.
For example, I worked my ass off to become one of the top 20 high school clarinetists in the state of Texas. It was hard, but my passion supplied the motivation.

The passion is what most musicians 'lack', nowadays.

Oh Goodness. This is not what I had intended at all. I don't want to cause a scene.

Oh I didn't say I thought it was easy. I don't think any instrument is easy. I've tried and failed (and well in the case of the guitar, just don't spend enough time learning). I'm just pointing out common conceptions.

Honestly, when I show people my music, they get this scared look in their eyes. xD I love it.
