Re: Your woodwind doubling story

I started clarinet the summer before my sophomore year in high school. I progressed rapidly and majored in music ed. I learned flute (basics) in methods class (also oboe). No one encouraged me on sax. During my first few years as band director I improved on flute. I learned sax on a bari sax my school owned.

Soon I bought a used alto and a bass clarinet in an auction.
I wanted to play on Broadway. After a performance of "No.No.Nannette I followed the bassoon player onto a city bus. I complimented him on his solo, much to his astonishment. I told him my dream. He told me to be able to play all the woodwinds. He said that there were 200 clarinet/sax players walking the street because they don't play flute/picc and the double reeds.
I bought a new bassoon and studied with Ronald Phillips of the Cleveand orchestra.
