Generally the first note that you will learn to play is a concert B-flat or a concert A-flat as they are easy to play being in the middle of the saxophone range.
Some good schools to attend if one wanted to study and learn to play the saxophone include Michigan State, Arizona State, Ball State, Northwestern, and Peabody Conservatory.
The clarinet is a million times easier than the saxophone in every aspect. First because clarinet is just like piano where the notes are very easy. But on saxophone there are extra flats and sharps, you have to study things that you don't have to on clarinet, you need more air for saxophone, and the saxophone is very heavy! On clarinet you learn how to play all the notes in less than a month. If you play saxophone you learn the notes in more than 5 months! The saxophone is a lot harder! If you play saxophone, you need to layer your fingering more precisely too. Also they are tuned differently too. So if you play in a concert, the notes you play will be very confusing on the saxophone. Also the clarinet is very light. So it will be very easy to play clarinet than saxophone. So for my opinion clarinet is easier. People out there who think sax is easier, you are wrong. Clarinet is a million times easier than the saxophone in every aspect. Also for saxophone you need more air for blowing. You get tired more easily too. I admit clarinet squeaks a lot. But once you get used to it, you will stop squeaking. People out there who think sax is easier, you are wrong. Clarinet is much easier than the saxophone. Also for saxophone you need more air for blowing. You get tired more easily too. I admit clarinet squeaks a lot. But once you get used to it, you will stop squeaking. I play clarinet and saxophone and I can't keep up with saxophone. So please when you consider on choosing your instrument between clarinet and saxophone, choose clarinet.
