I understood that if I wanted to work, the saxophone was the main instrument. The clarinet was what we call a double.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Saxophone is one thing, and music is another.
I'm a little musically inclined; I play the clarinet and the saxophone.
The other saxophones, except as solo instruments, really don't have much point in the orchestra.
You can work on the saxophone alone, but ultimately you must perform with others.
Clarinet is an incredible instrument. It's a great, expressive instrument.
The clarinet has always been my baby. I just didn't know that for a while.
I was focusing on sax while at Berklee, but then I started to play Brazilian choro and Colombian music. I was doing more folkloric stuff on the clarinet because it works better. Finally, I realized I was working more on the clarinet than the saxophone, and I started to feel more comfortable on it.
I play drums, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, french horn, piano.
You can make a saxophone into an electric organ; you can do everything with it.
After I learned the piano, I went on to learn percussion, the tuba, b-flat baritone, French horn, trombone, trumpet, most of the instruments in the orchestra. Trumpet was my instrument.
