Welcome to the tonebase Clarinet Community!
Hey everyone - this is Martin from tonebase!
As the Head of Live and Community here on tonebase, it's such a pleasure to welcome you to the tonebase community. We would love to get to know you! Please introduce yourself in a post below with the following format:
- Where are you from and what's your favorite food from there? ;)
- What are you currently working on?
- What are you hoping to get out of this community?
I鈥檒l go first:
- I was born and raised in Munich, Germany! As you鈥檇 expect, Bavarian cuisine is heavy and includes many meat and Kn枚del dishes, as well as crops such as beets and potatoes! While this food makes me think back to my childhood, I prefer much more food from my current hometown D眉sseldorf, where we have the biggest Japanese community outside of Japan. So D眉sseldorf has no shortage of great Ramen shops, Sushi places, and even Teppanyaki grill houses!
- When it comes to clarinet, I am clueless! I have studied classical guitar and sound engineering. Currently, I am in the process of recording a new album with my guitar duo, "TwoFourTwelve". Although my father is a passionate clarinet player, he recently bought my niece a clarinet. I am excited to see her grow as a person with music by her side!
- I am hoping to getting to know and helping all of you achieve your musical and artistic goals. Let's have some fun and get to work.

I'm Donald, a retired physician and large group practice CEO living in the western suburbs of Chicago. I am currently bass and utility clarinetist for www.dupagesymphony.org. I'm looking to meet fellow clarinet travelers and achieve faster articulation, a more even technique and an altissimo register that is better in tune. The Chicago area is home to numerous cuisines, both local and imported. My area is blessed with many Asian restaurants from various countries, so I'm partial to that. I'll admit I sneak in the occasional Chicago deep dish pizza, though I continue to favor the pizza style of my native New York. Check out my YouTube channel, Dr. Don And His Clarinets! I look forward to learning a lot here.

Hello,
I鈥檓 Nora from Germany, I live in a region where we have famous white wine and dark sourdough bread and the well known german clarinet manufactories are very close.
I鈥榤 an amateur clarinetist and have been taken lessons for 8 years now. I started making music as a child with violin and flute and after school I got a 20 years break for university and establish myself as a clinical psychologist.
Normally I get completely involved into something so this platform is perfect for me. I have a lovely teacher but sometimes we don鈥榯 have enough time for all my questions and I think we went on too fast so my fundamentals are not always very precise.
I play clarinet in an amateur orchestra where we prepare Brahms hungarian dances and Dvorak 8th right now for our autumn concert and besides that I also play in a clarinet choir with the bass clarinet. There we do some kind of world music and klezmer stuff which I like very much.
