No, there is another person here who is not a clarinet player: me!
I'm 45 years old, with a 12 year old daughter who plays. My husband and I were in our mid/late thirties when she came along. I left my job to stay at home with her, and now that she's in middle school, I'm working on my master's degree in early childhood education and substitute teaching.
Daughter has only been playing a couple of years, but she loves it. She has a wonderful teacher whom we both adore, and we feel very lucky that she was accepted as a student by this talented woman. I hope daughter will go back to practicing as much as she did before she started middle school this fall.
Neither husband nor I play, which is really too bad because previous generations of both families have played many instruments, and quite well. Many relatives played clarinet in big band groups. Many also play piano. Husband and I play a very good stereo. Husband plays a little piano, and we both plan to take lessons (either piano or clarinet) when I finish my degree and go back to full-time teaching.
We love classical music. Husband and daughter also like country, and husband and I both like classic rock. We love fun science fiction/fantasy (no slasher/gore, please) and history, and the whole family reads constantly.
As for Lord of the Rings, we all love the books, but daughter is the only one who can watch the movies. Hubby and I sleep through them. ; )
We rescue dogs and currently have five. Good thing we're not into impressing the Joneses, hunh? You can see where all our money goes: daughter, books, dogs. LOL...
