Hi, I am minimum a name given by family due to my 4ft 11 height.

I have 3 kids aged 20, 17 (both boys) non musical, one daughter (8) just starting music, and a musician husband, who educates too.

I am previously grade 8 standard clarinet but only passed gr5 due to learning difficulties and not passing theory. (AH).

I spend alot of time ferrying daughter to violin (aprox gr1/gr2) standard, choir and singing lessons (gr2 ish)

Sometimes I pick up clarinet and practice for a few weeks then something comes up and it goes by the wayside again. I worry this is not a good role model for my daughter.

I am a Qualified FE teacher but not working at present, enjoying time at home.

Looking forward to sharing experiences and receiving replies from parents who share their nwisdom.

Welcome to the Forums Minimum (you could have been Minim Mum We already have a Crochety Mum), there are loads of clarinet players on here though Im not one of them.
The forums are interesting, educative and fun (that's why I have 10000 posts, too addictive at times).
We look forward to hearing more from you

Thanks very much. I look forward to joining in. The minimum was sort of thought to apply to music as well, should have doubled mm!
