Yes, for the most part. It depends on your teacher. Sight reading is the hardest part I think.

What is a good secondary instrument for a flute player?
If you are looking for a second instrument to learnt to play and you started on flute, it really depends on what you want. If you feel like confusing yourself, try an instrument in bass clef. If you are looking for something relatively easy to learn, try and instrument on treble clef, like clarinet or saxaphone.
Is a clairanet a better instrument than a flute?
I'd say not because clarinet is way to easy flute even sounds peaceful
When you play clarinet it is sometimes hard to blow and sometimes very easy how do you make it very easy to make a sound all the time?
The clarinet is a beautiful instrument that makes a beautiful sound. It isn't always easy to play. Even though sometimes it is hard to play, if you keep at it you will get a feel for the instrument. Once you are used to the intrument, it will be easier to blow. It will become easier to blow the more you play.
A musical instrument which is absolutely fabulous?
Clarinet FOR SURE!! I play clarinet and I know it is 1. The easiest. 2. It has a very wide range. 3. You can transpose it very easily. And you can use trumpet sheet music if necessary. IF you really enjoy playing clarinet, I suggest trying bass clarinet. It is a very easy switch. So I think the clarinet is your best choice.
Is the clarinet a good instrument?
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. The previous answer has a point, with the fact that it's a very heavy instrument, depending on which one you play, and the tuning is very confusing as well. But in essence, the clarinet and the saxophone are very similar instruments. Both use a single reed mouthpiece, the same grip on the mouthpiece can be used, and the fingerings are actually very similar. The clarinet is much easier to start off with, but it is very hard to become a master of the clarinet. Especially when the vast majority of the classical music out there has the clarinet playing in it's highest register. The Saxophone however, is quite hard to start off with, but to become very good at the instrument, is very easy when compared to the clarinet. The hardest thing with the saxophone are the harmonics. The harmonics of the instrument is the vibration of the reed creating the sound, and depending on the vibration of the reed, created a different tone. With the saxophone's harmonics, it is very hard to play lower than a G when first starting, because the harmonics of the instrument make it very hard to control the pitch. You tighten your grip on the mouthpiece, the note jumps an octave. To play a low C, for example, you must drop your jaw and blow very hard to sound the note. It is also very hard to tongue in this register; I find it easier to use the lower jaw to articulate in this register. I play both Clarinet and Tenor Saxophone, which are both tuned in the of Bb, and Clarinet was my first instrument. Yes, it is very easy to squeak on the Clarinet, but it is not very easy to squeak on the Sax, even if you try. I started the Sax after two and a half years of Clarinet, and I got the hang of the clarinet within a month, playing all the way up the register and down. I got better on saxophone in about 5 months so man468 has a point about that. My point is; it depends on the playing style. If you play alot of concert band material, switching from clarinet to sax is fairly easy. Playing Classical repertoire, with the higher notes, sax will turn out to be very hard and frustrating at first. Plus, the weight isn't really a factor, the whole instrument's weight is held on the neck strap, and if you get a really good padded one, it's great playing the sax. Your lungs quickly get used to the amount of air needed for the sax. It's mostly the amount of pressure you force the air into the instrument, not how much air is needed. Hope this helped alot, and kudos to Man468 for a great answer as well. Cheers :) -KevinV97 They're similar and it's hard to say which is harder, because everyone has a hard time with certain areas where both the instruments demand. For example, the clarinet requires precise tone hole covering while the sax doesn't and the sax requires more air while the clarinet doesn't really need as much air. It's different for everyone, but the norm is that the sax is easier. 3rd Answer: I play clarinet, soprano, alto, and tenor sax. Sax is much easier. The fingerings are the same or similar, but the clarinet has the dreaded bridge between the low and middle register. The sax is designed with a couple of extra keys to make the 'bridge' simple. The upper register of the clarinet uses different fingering: something that you don't need to memorize when playing sax. A beginner should start with the clarinet . . . moving on to sax is dead simple in comparison!

If you have played regular clarinet for about four years will it be easy to play the bass clarinet?
It's not the easiest instrument to change to, but most of the fingerings are the same. You'll definitely need to have largeish hands and blow a lot more air though. But overall, they are very similar, and I encourage you to make the switch.

What is an easy and travel size instrument I want to play an instrument that is easy but guitar was to hard for me?
If you want to play a wind instrument, then I would go with the clarinet. I have been playing it for almost 5 years now and I absolutely love it. I was able to get a note out right away and I picked it up pretty quickly. At the same time, it is not so easy that you will be able to master it right away as the upper register can get challenging. It's a fairly easy instrument to pick up if you get a good teacher, though. If the clarinet is too tricky, then I suggest the saxophone. It has a more relaxed embouchure and it is not hard to pick up. I have been playing the saxophone for a month now and the level I am at on sax is about the same as I am on clarinet. If you wish to play a string instrument, then I suggest playing the violin. It is portable and has fewer strings than the guitar. Also, you don't have to use a pick. Instead, you use a bow which in my opinion is less challenging than using a pick on the guitar. However, the violin does not have frets so if you wanted a visual of where your fingers would go, you would have to use thin colored tape to show where your fingers belong when making certain notes. Having played all of these instruments, I would say you should go with the clarinet. It is the easiest to get notes out of at first, the most compact, and also the cheapest to buy. If I were you, I would pick the clarinet.
