Hi all
Well I appear to have fallen at the first hurdle as I made a post this morning to the forum but alas I cannot find it, so apologies if this is a duplicate entry
I have recently discovered my old B and H clarinet which I used to play a long, long time ago, if I say 'wham' were in the charts you get the picture. I now have an 11 year old and am trying to get her to learn an instrument and she is learning the guitar by tabbing! I have no idea what that is!
My question is this - i have seen an earlham alto sax for sale and was wondering as a novice newbie to sax playing is it an instrument that I could pick up and play or would my clarinet playing (or lack of it) just confuse me. I did play tenor for a while in my youth so am aware the fingering is different. In essence should I stick to the clarinet or is it possible to learn both at the same time? Plus is 11/12 a good age for junior to start on a alto as the clarinet is quite hard to play at that age' or so she tells me.
Thanks in advance for any advice / tips
Dorset Dave
