Saxophoneislife

I have trouble specializing. I love both the bassoon and alto saxophone to much. I'd love to pick one or the other to play exclusively, but I just love both too much.

Oboe and cello. Both very beautiful instruments.

I'd take the bassoon as my primary any day.:P

For the bassoon, I'm yet to find one that I'm too fond of. I however do like Weber's Concerto in F Major. For the oboe I'll have to go with Marcello's Oboe Concerto in D Minor... In fact it's like one of my favorite songs ever. It's amazing. For the clarinet, definately Mozart. The Adagio movement is simply amazing.:laugh:

Trumpet - The instrument I started on. I still play it in high school band, but mainly for marching, because I'm not too bad at that apparantally. Right now that's all it is to me. I own a Bach Stradivarius... in case anybody's wondering. :mellow: Oh darn, my trumpet player ego still exists. Clarinet - My second... Eventually I got tired of brass and had to try something different... Clarinet was kind of that easy choice.. It's cheap, and I loved the sound. Over time though, I kind of got bored of it. I mainly blame it on my instrument though. It's a no named brand, and can't play half of the notes I want it to. Of course that could be ME... but it IS a cheap brand that I've never heard of. Flute - I never really learned this. My sister owns one, but eventually she gave it to me. I've never been a big flute person. But I thought it's a new instrument, so why not? I couldn't play it though, not because of my incapability, but it's because the instrument was unplayable. No wonders my sister never got anywhere in middle school band. Alto Saxophone - Aha! Finally. Yes, it is my most recent picked up instrument (in reality). I really can't say I expected too much from it, but I soon found out that it is so much more. and as of right now, it is my favorite instrument to play. I can't say that will change either. I instantly fell in love with it. It's a shame I don't have one... or I would be playing it more. Piano - Music Theory AP basically forced this on me... I had to learn it over the summer. I think piano's are pretty given the right song, but I'm more of a wind player. Guitar - My dad owns one, I tried to like it, but I just couldn't get into it. Bassoon - Worth a mention... I mean it IS my favorite instrument. I just haven't played one yet.

There are around 7 or 8 bassoons in my high school alone... I find that rather impressive, but it's not really because most of them don't care about the instrument. We have only a few oboes in my school, there's like 3 or 4. Anyways, even though I've never played a bassoon, I have done a lot of studying up on it, I've read books, listened to all kinds of bassoon pieces and pretty much I'm beyond obsessed. I'd really love to be a bassoon performance major.:mellow:

I play quite a few instruments. My first love, though not the first I played is alto saxophone. I picked it up a little while ago and instantaneously fell in love with it. I didn't expect to much from it, but yeah I found a lot... What I've been playing for the longest is the trumpet, I like the instrument, but I know it's not the one for me. Soon after that I picked up the clarinet, which is pretty fun. Right now I'm learning piano, slowly, but surely. I have to, you know. I'm saving up for a bassoon, and hope to learn it soon, I know it's not easy but I have a profound interest in it... Someday I'd like to learn the other double reeds as well, though. Oboe is a pretty instrument... Yeah, so I mainly play trumpet, clarinet, and alto saxophone.
