Welcome to another amazing episode of Toot Your Own Horn: Music Matters, hosted by Lisa Canning from Lisa’s Clarinet Shop and Working Musicians Academy! In Episode 60, Lisa interviews Brian Fletcher, who stepped away from the clarinet after middle school before returning to it with more passion than ever. After years of collecting beautiful instruments, something clicked. Being surrounded by them sparked a deep desire to play again—not casually, but with real focus and purpose. With encouragement from his wife, Brian was introduced to the teacher he works with today, and everything changed. He began reading sheet music again, practicing regularly, and working through advanced-level books. What started as a long break from music turned into a serious and meaningful return. This episode is about rediscovery, patience, and the reminder that it’s never too late to start fresh—or take something you love more seriously than ever before. If you’ve ever stepped away from music, this conversation will resonate.
