Comparing the methodologies described in these fields with my own experience -educational, interpretive and educational . I am trying to find out in what way the methodologies for teaching singing and for playing the clarinet are similar, and on the other hand where there are differences. The aim of my thesis was to describe - based on my own experience - how the knowledge I gained while studying singing helped me at the beginning of the study of playing the clarinet, where just on the contrary, I was limited, and reciprocally how the knowledge gained during the study of playing the clarinet influenced my singing practice.
