Re: Why start low?

One thing about kids is that they're usually eager to learn new things. As instrument students, they want to learn new notes, play new tunes. Most get restless if you make them do the same things over and over. They need variety.

If you teach the clarion register as just some new notes, they'll actually be excited about them. But, as the teacher, part of your responsibility is to introduce new things in a way that gives your students the best chance of success. Putting kids (or beginning adults) in a position where failure is a strong possibility is not a good teaching approach. So, don't advertise that there's anything "hard" going on (there really isn't if you approach it well) and just present the notes as something new and interesting.
