Re: Eb or Bass clarinet?

When I went to conservatory I leaned both beginning in my second year. Eb is easier to learn since it's just a small clarinet, just have to make an adjustment in voicing and use your ear more for intonation. I used to practice Eb a few hours a week learning some excepts. Bass took more time but well worth it, I became the bass clarinet player of the BSO for 50 years and even then had several opportunities to play Eb. I was able to audition for all orchestra positions when I graduated. 1st, 2nd, 2nd and Eb, ass. and Eb, bass and clarinet. Practicing each only enhanced my clarinet playing as well, it didn't distract from it. Just have to schedule your time to prepare your lessons.
