A clarinet friend of mine frequents www.woodwind.org, which has more information that you will ever want to know about the clarinet, including a forum-style message board. There is also http://test.woodwind.org/oboe/BBoard/index.html, which is what you are probably most interested in perusing. I personally played both horn and tenor trombone from high school through undergrad, and only put the trombone down when I went to grad school for horn. During my undergrad I played horn in the orchestra and wind ensemble, and was in the top jazz ensemble with trombone. I didn't think either affected the other in a bad way, I consider myself lucky to have a jazz background (helps with those Fripperies), and my lip trills sounded great on a trombone, lol.

He's 12 years old, has been playing jazz trumpet for four years and classical horn for two. The jazz/classical distinction works well, in my opinion, as he's not trying to do musically similar things on both instruments. For my own edification as I consider instrument choices for my other son, who is only eight years old, I'd like to know about woodwind doubles, in particular playing a double reed instrument like the oboe while also playing a single reed instrument like the clarinet or saxophone (or even a no-reed instrument like the flute). If anyone is aware of a woodwind list similar to this one for horn, or one specifically geared to the oboe, please send along any sign-up information. It looks like my youngest will start on oboe in a few weeks. Thanks, and apologies if this message isn't horny enough. :) -S- _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/cathornico%40yahoo.com _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
