What sparked your interest in playing this instrument?

When I first started playing Clarinet, I was in elementary school and I wanted to pick an instrument that wasn't too difficult but also not commonly played. And I liked Squidward.

What is your favorite musical piece that you've played?

Vehicle

What type of music do you most like to play and why?

If video game music was a style, that would be my favorite.

What is giving/gave you the most trouble while learning, and what advice would you give to others having similar difficulties?

It was probably using the wrong reed and not knowing the reed was the problem. If you're having difficulty playing, ask your instructor if your reed is the right size.

Any words of wisdom or encouragement for your peers?

Practice whenever you can, as much as you can, and if you have free time, try to learn your own songs. Also play more than one instrument if you can.
