Soprano Saxophone is more of a solo instrument and if you wish to learn it, play tenor first. With the Saxophone you can play more of a jazz style. However, the first year of an Oboe is horrible until you start becoming better. The oboeis more of a concert band and symphony instrument. It depends if you can see yourself playing jazz or concert later in your life.

What instrument makes up the tenor and bass section of the woodwinds?
Soprano: flute, piccolo, oboe, clarinet, soprano saxophone. Alto: english horn, alto saxophone. Tenor: tenor saxophone, alto clarinet (despite its name, it is usually used as a tenor instrument). Bass: bassoon, contrabassoon, bass/contrabass clarinets, baritone saxophones. Of course, since woodwind instruments typically have a greater range than human voices, there is considerable overlap between parts. Bassoons frequently play the tenor part, and clarinets often play the alto part.

What band intrument reads music written in treble clef?
Here is a list: * Flute * Oboe * Clarinet * Trumpet * Bassoon * English Horn * Piccolo * French Horn * Violin * Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Baritone Saxophones * Tuned percussion instruments (xylophone, vibraphone, bells, ect.) that's all i can think of right now. I personally play oboe, clarinet, and tuned percussion instruments. Oboe is very difficult and fun, but again extremely difficult. Clarinet is easy to pick up. Tuned percussion is extremely easy to learn and play well.

Is the oboe a part of the orchestra?
The term "choir" generally refers to a group of voices, although it is also used by some musicians to refer to a subset of a larger group where the characteristic of the voices are fairly uniform and resemble the makeup of a vocal choir. If the choir you are asking about is a vocal choir, an oboe is not a normal part of it, because the oboe is not a human voice. An oboe or two might be added as non-vocal color or even to support the soprano voices (in which case it would be choir and... rather than just choir, and the oboe would be part of whatever replaces the elipses!) In the "woodwind choir" of orchestra or band, the oboe is the soprano of the double-reed subsection. The other common members of the woodwind section are the english horn and bassoon. If a composer is seeking to make a choir-like sound, they might use two oboes for the soprano and alto parts, the english horn as tenor and the bassoon as bass. To this section is sometimes added the less common contrabassoon (an octave lower than the bassoon) and the Baritone oboe, which is lower in pitch than the english horn and would serve like a vocal baritone. The oboe is generally used for melodic solos or to provide the top two voices in harmony. In a woodwind quintet or mixed woodwind choir, it is more often used as an alto to the flute's soprano, or for solo work where it's brighter tone can run an emotional gamut from sprightly to sombre.
How many sizes are there in a saxophone?
From highest to lowest pitch: Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Baritone. The Soprano and Tenor are keyed in Bb The Alto and Baritone instruments are keyed in Eb. The baritone saxophone requires more lung capacity and is probably too large for a younger student. The soprano saxophone is the most difficult of these four to play in tune. Therefore most students of the saxophone begin on Alto or Tenor try others after they have some proficiency.
