It’s 1999. David Wolfe is 9 years old. He is set to select his first musical instrument. One-by-one everyone in the band gets their pick. But what happens when his hands are too small for the saxophone, the instrument he is dying to play? Well, he plays the clarinet, of course. Now, David Wolfe, a senior at Lipscomb University, plays the clarinet here in Nashville. Wolfe has been juggling two very different talents throughout his life. He has played the clarinet for eleven years and he ran track and cross country for seven, including three seasons for the Lipscomb Bisons. He was on both rosters for the Bisons this year, but chose to concentrate on his musical obligations. This year he decided to give up running for his ambitions in music, but he still runs on his own time. He spends most of his time practicing the clarinet- six hours of individual practice every day, plus group practice for an average of about four hours.

He has been busy auditioning for graduate schools around the country, including the Cleveland Institute of Music, Ohio State, and USC. He will be attending Ohio State next fall, which has one of the best music programs in the country. On Wolfe’s visit to Ohio State, he fell in love with the atmosphere even though the huge campus was a bit...
