What is that sound, filling the air? It’s the sound of open G. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, the unmistakable sound of my little girl with a new clarinet. “Teach me a song now, Mom,” she pleads. “Not yet honey, just get comfortable with the instrument and making a sound,” I tell her. And make sounds she does! She is actually doing a great job considering she has only be “playing” for 2 days. She has already asked me to explain how to make first chair in the band! I hope the excitment continues. I know I’m excited to have a working clarinet in the house. I must confess that I put it together in my van right after leaving the music store and made an attempt at a chromatic scale. Not too bad if I do say so myself.
Ah, open G. The beginning of so many possibilities …
