For beginners probably alto. The notes are just like a soprano recorder too except extra. I play alto but it came easy because I learned recorder in elementary so... yeah altos good!

How are saxophones and clarinets related?

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.

How many instruments are in the woodwind section?

In a standard orchestra, there are four groups: flutes, oboes, clarinets & bassoons. Each group has alternate instruments the players are sometimes called upon to play. Flute players also use piccolo and alto flute. Clarinet players also play e-flat clarinet and bass clarinet. Oboe players are required to play English horn as well. And bassoon players can double up on contrabassoon. Occasionally a piece will call for a saxophone or two- many flute and clarinet players are able to play sax, though sometimes a saxophonist is called in.
