interesting…
a fully plastic C clarinet? very perculiar indeed! my student uses a fully plastic C clarinet bought from switzerland. fully plastic! and it uses a wooden reed! interesting. the mechanism is very much like that of a normal wooden clarinet, and it’s sound isn’t very far away from the original too. if i see one in holland or scotland i would like to buy it too! such a novelty.
my student is so cute! she’s only 9, name’s fiona. produces a fairly ok sound on the clarinet, has pretty good tonguing technique for her age and level, and learns rather fast. hopefully she’s hardworking too! think i was right in not giving her that much stress. at that age, i’d want her to enjoy playing the clarinet as much as she can! i also hope she can progress into whichever genre of music she chooses. her mum’s a nice woman. very friendly swiss family on the whole. i’m so glad about that.
rewarded myself for a hard day’s work with a movie! i watched star wars III. alone. haha. sigh. movie was good, but watching it alone wasn’t exactly very enjoyable. got to know a few friends from work this morning too. got along pretty well, hope to hang out some time.
it’s been a good day! but why do i still feel so empty? seems like a part of me died. argh. will snap out of it.
