[QUOTE="donna723, post: 192123, member: 1883"] OMG Steph! Have you ever [I]heard[/I] a beginning clarinet player??? It's awful! Not for the faint hearted! If you don't know how to play them, the most gawd-awful horrible loud screeching noises can come out of them! Your teeth will be permanently on edge! See, I'm flashing back many, many, [U]many[/U] years to when we were kids and my older brother was taking clarinet lessons at school. He really wanted to learn how to play it and he practiced ALL THE TIME! Constantly! Somewhere we have this old family picture - a real classic, like a Norman Rockwell painting! It's somebody's birthday, my grandparents were there, and we're all sitting around the kitchen table wearing party hats while my brother is "serenading" us with his clarinet! My younger brother was a baby then. Too young to be tactful, he's sitting in his high chair screaming, with his hands over his ears. My mother is trying hard to smile but she looks like she's going to be sick. My dad looks like he wants to start beating his head against the wall till it stops. My grandmother has her eyes closed, like she's trying her best to achieve an out-of-body experience. And even my sweet extremely tolerant grandpa is rolling his eyes heavenward like he's praying, "Dear Lord, please take me [U]now[/U]!" Let her take the art classes, hon ... trust me on this one.
