Choosing The Right Instrument
Woodwind
Benefits to beginners:
- Clarinet & Flute can usually be played by children as young as 6/7.... Saxophone from approximately 10 years old.
- A relatively straightforward next step from recorder at school.
- A well-developed ear is not essential at the outset, as these instruments are essentially 'in tune'.
- Clarinets & Flutes are compact & lightweight.
- It's been proven that playing wind instruments can be beneficial to asthma sufferers.
But:
- You will generally need other musicians to play with, although there are easy 'play-along' books available.
- To achieve a pleasing tone will take much more time and effort than, for example, piano or guitar.
