Re: Negative effects of saxophone?

If you're planning on becoming a clarinet performance major and you're planning on marching with a saxophone in a marching band that requires many hours of practice time, I might not do it. I marched with a tenor sax in college (high stepping, and our band didn't march clarinets), and it slightly affected my clarinet playing. It wasn't a major issue, but my playing always improved a bit when marching season was over. To be honest, though, I'm not sure the situation would have been much different if I had marched with a clarinet.

If this doesn't describe you, go for it! I've played both instruments for many years, although I must admit that I don't play a lot of sax these days. Still, I don't think the sax has hurt my clarinet playing one bit. It really isn't a big deal switching back and forth. The worst problem I face is a dry reed.

Several months ago, I wrote about Jack Brymer. Even though we remember him today for his clarinet playing, he was also an amazing sax player. At the time, others mentioned Larry Combs, another remarkable performer on both instruments.
