Piano-horrible at it/4years
Clarinet-pretty good/3 years
violin-okay/3 months
saxophone-okay/4 months
I play the violin and saxophone by ear. I can't take lessons with them. The piano, I've taken for 4 years and I still can't play. I'd say I play the clarinet the best out of any of them. My favorite instrument is the violin though. :blush:
I think they're all pretty good. On Shadow and Coshard the endings are both very abrupt. On Shadow I think that in some places it is kind of choppy. I really like the Dawn of a Spirit one though. I think you're doing great. ;)
It's really easy. My sister never even took lessons but she can play some things. The only bad thing is is when you get new corks the clarinet (at least mine does) doesn't play as good. You have to play harder and when you put it together it has to be in a certain spot or the first three notes with the teardrop key won't work very good. And then another thing is that sometimes even though I put A LOT of cork grease on it gets stuck together and i'm always afraid it will break. But that might be because I have a really old and wooden clarinet. I don't know.
All you have to do is move your fingers up from the 4 key which is C from the bottom to get most of the B flat scale. You really should try it. It's easy to play by ear on the clarinet. I bet you guys would think it's easy the way you're talented! :(
