When I found out the Jazz Lab Bands at UNT require Soprano, Clarinet, Flute, and Piccolo 
And so it beginsCarbs said:I was driving today and thinking about music almost in general. And was wondering when do you know as a muscisian to move on to a new horn? I am NOT talking about stepping up from a begginer to a pro. horn. I am talking about Sax to Clarinet, or Sax to Flute. Or Alto sax to Bari sax. When do you know?
The reason why I ask here is becuase so many people play more than just SAX, and was wondering when you decided to needed to expand.
Seriously wondering.

When you are good enough to be getting calls for paying gigs and they ask "Do you also play (X) ?" Then you expand you playing horizon. If you still stink, get to work on your main axe and don't even consider taking on another.Carbs said:The reason why I ask here is becuase so many people play more than just SAX, and was wondering when you decided to needed to expand.

I wouldn't move to a new horn until I understood all the subtle nuances of the one that I am playing right now. I started on clarinet, moved to sax YEARS later.Carbs said:I was driving today and thinking about music almost in general. And was wondering when do you know as a muscisian to move on to a new horn?

Skip the solo and post some scales. Anybody can tootle a solo on preferred notes, but scales are hard to BS your way through.Carbs said:I am working on a solo right now, that I will record and post for opinions probably this weekend.
Any note at the wrong time is wrong regardless of the tone.Carbs said:Thanks Carl. I know,
tone. Which to me is the most important part of playing. If I don't have a good tone, then playing the right notes, just don't mean anything.

But you're always a half step away from a 'right' note. ;-)Carl H. said:Any note at the wrong time is wrong regardless of the tone.
