Newbie

Hi everyone. My name is Josh and I live in Millburn New Jersey USA. My favorite food is anything except grilled liver! Actually, I love sushi, having lived in Japan for a year many years ago. I am an almost retired geriatrician physician. 
 

I am currently working on pieces with my Community band in Maplewood New Jersey as well as a Clarinet Quartet that has some marvelous works. I am hoping to polish my Intonation and articulation. I love playing. I have had a serious back injury for many years and playing Clarinet has saved me as well as having a wonderful and supportive family and four grandchildren. I was playing on my mother‘s American made Clarinet (~1942 Penzel Mueller) until about two years ago when I bought a lovely Canadian Backun. I look forward to getting to know everyone.

    Hi Josh :) 
    I'm new too!  
    Congratulations on your upcoming retirement!  
    I'm a 35 year old software engineer in Asheville, NC, so I have many moons until my retirement, but I'm already looking forward to it :)

    It will come sooner than you think!. Do you play any community band type arrangement? By the way, I have still not been able to identify someone from Tonebase that will get back to me reliably on questions. How about you?

       I do!
      I play for the Montreat College Symphony Orchestra, which is made up of community members and students.  It's very fun, but I struggle to practice when left to my own devices.  I'd love to connect with a Tonebase staff member to see about coaching, as I do better with the accountability model.  I'll let you know when I reach out and if I hear back!

    Yes, please do. I really enjoy the library of video lessons as well as the PDF printouts, etc. I’m just kind of surprised that no one seems to be monitoring this chat and that nobody can answer some pretty basic questions.
