@xMicroNikx My High School jazz band consisted of 2 flutes, 2 clarinets, 1 trumpet, 1 tenor sax, 1 trombone, and a piano. I alternated between tenor sax and clarinet. Usually clarinet was our lead instrument.

I played clarinet for about 3 years before I was asked to fill in for a sax player in band one day. My director said "Don't worry, there's no difference"...and she was right. To me at least, clarinet, alto sax, tenor sax, all played the same except the weight and the strap.

@SuperLalala50 Doing things like you're not supposed to is almost the basis of jazz. Play loud, improvise, hold the bell as high as you want! Though it requires technical ability to be done right, jazz is not focused on technique as much as letting out the feeling and emotion. Take Coltrane for example: everyone thought Giant Steps was a disaster at the time, now it's compositional technique is a celebrated staple of the genre. Having fun and experiment with your creative medium!

@Angeni666 hahah yea id definatly like to play the clarinet

[Angeni666]

@TheCal1109 absolutely not. You should try taking up the instrument actually. Its a little difficult for some, but as you can hear, it can make some swanky sounds ;)
